Hetzner Object Storage
What ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini & Grok actually say · September 2026
The verdict
Hetzner Object Storage appears in 1 AI-ranked category — best position #4 for object storage for egress-heavy workloads.
EU-native S3-compatible store with a low base that already includes 1 TB storage + 1 TB egress, then only ~€1/$1.20 per extra TB out—among the cheapest all-in numbers for European or cost-sensitive high-volume serving without a $0-marketing asterisk.
Claude S3-compatible object storage bundled with Hetzner's famously cheap, generous bandwidth; extremely strong raw value for European-hosted, egress-heavy workloads where you want predictable low bills without CDN gymnastics.
Where Hetzner Object Storage falls short, per the models
- Claude Region footprint is limited (EU-centric), the product is younger and less feature-rich than R2/B2, and there's no built-in global edge — latency for distant users needs your own CDN in front.
- Grok Locations limited to DE/FI, per-account bucket/object caps, and unused included quota does not roll over; not global and not zero-egress at extreme ratios.
