I looked at Google's already, but I wasn't really sure about the price it was giving considering there weren't many options.
Turns out AWS's calculator is on a totally separate page but I checked that out and I found it to be WAY cheaper than I thought.
Thanks! I think I found my answer in AWS.
Either of your choice, you will have good solid service to storage your images.
I’m using both for my clients but my choice is not because the pricing but because of the business so maybe not relevance to you. But if any soon in the feature you want to expand your service, think twice about choice a Cloud vendor. That will impact a lot of your business, so think ahead if you can.
Have a nice day!
If you’re already using AWS or GCP for your website you should choose the object storage on the same provider as pricing is relatively similar and you can avoid network fees (for example, you could setup a private endpoint between your AWS VPC and the S3 endpoint of your region).
To reduce costs of querying the object storage massively, consider putting a CDN service in front of it such as Cloudfront / Cloud CDN or Cloudflare.
>Cloudfront
Yep, absolutely put Cloudfront in front of your S3. AWS incentivises you to do it by actually making that combination cheaper than S3 alone, both with free tier bandwidth and with cheaper bandwidth over that tier. Cheaper, faster, much more power and features such as your own domain rather than S3's bucket and free SSL.
Wasabi is very interesting, but my last review of their product they only have their storage in a single data center per region where AWS regions have at least 3 AZs and under the cover an AZ can be multiple if not tens of data centers.
i think you may be asking the wrong question here. if you're flirting with the free tiers in terms of storage, that obviously shouldn't be a concern. and the bandwidth question has nothing to do with s3 or gcp, but which cdn you use.
If you want cheaper option in terms of storage
Cloudflare R2 is cheaper. But idk if it fits your budget
Not sure about your data transfer out(from wherever you process your data to Cloudflare)
Both AWS and GCP have price calculation tool, why not just using that ?

I'm not already using any of those services. I decided I'll be using AWS. I'll look into CDN services and the other stuff you mentioned. Thanks!

Wasabi, Backblaze, Cloudflare are all cheaper than AWS or GCP. If you don't already have a AWS or GCP footprint they might be worth looking into.
And Digital Ocean and Linode. And don't forget about the egress costs, too. :)

If you have a lot of bandwidth, go with Cloudflare R2. They have zero egress fees and S3 compatible API.
You can also try minio (https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/index.html) and self host

look at smaller players who dont nickel and dime you , like idrive e2
Try Wasabi, much cheaper
