Both cover media storage & review. Here is what separates them on price, billing, what you can take with you, and coverage.

Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
Pay-as-you-go video hosting and delivery
bunny.net is a content delivery network with a video product on top, and it charges by the gigabyte with a one dollar monthly minimum. A creator embedding video on their own site pays for what people actually watch instead of buying a plan sized for a good month. It expects you to be comfortable with a dashboard built for developers, and it does not try to be a membership platform.
Our note
This is the cheapest way to put video on your own site by a wide margin, and the cost of that is doing the integration yourself. Set the bandwidth limit on day one; usage billing without a ceiling is the one way this gets expensive.
Only on this side
Object storage at one rate, with no egress fee
Wasabi sells cloud storage as a flat rate per terabyte and charges nothing to get the data back out, which is the line item that makes a bill from the big clouds unpredictable. For an archive of finished footage that gets pulled occasionally, that is the whole calculation. It speaks the same API as S3, so most backup software already knows how to talk to it. There is a minimum retention period, and it is worth reading before moving anything.

Our note
The no-egress promise is the whole reason to be here, and it only pays off if you actually pull data back occasionally. For a write-once archive nobody ever reads, cold storage elsewhere is cheaper, and the minimum retention period means short-lived files cost more than the headline rate suggests.
