There are 3 different storage pricing tiers in scoopa.
Live, Archive and Direct-to-Archive
Files in the live tier can be previewed and downloaded in both high- and low-res at maximum speeds. Therefore it is the most expensive tier in scoopa at currently 0.50€ - 1.25€/GB depending on your subscription plan.
Files in the archive tier are drastically cheaper at 0.012€/GB in all subscription plans and therefore suitable for long-term storage. Files in archive can only be previewed and not downloaded.
Normally it is ok for files to be in the Live tier before beeing able to transiting into the archive tier, because it reflects the normal lifecycle of any asset in live production. That beeing said, we understand, that there is often a desire to ingest existing archives into scoopa. For that purpose we offer a third tier: Direct-to-Archive. At 0.20€/GB for all subscription plans, we are offering an attractive path directly to our archive storage.
Traffic pricing:
Incoming traffic into scoopa (i.e. uploads) are always free of charge. Downloading assets from scoopa counts against your included traffic volume (from 1,200GB up to 48,000GB/year). As you go up in subscription plans, traffic gets noticable cheaper due to scaling effects. For heavy users, a more expensive subscription can be the better choice.
