Just received the following email from Storj. This doesn’t apply to me because my usage is a little higher than the minimum. But I was wondering when I first signed up if they would really charge for such small data storage accounts e.g. pennies per month.

What’s changing?

Starting July 1, 2025, Storj will introduce a $5 minimum monthly usage fee for all accounts. This helps cover the cost of payment processing and basic operations so we can continue offering fast, secure, and reliable storage—even for small accounts.

What does this mean for you?

If your monthly usage (storage, bandwidth, and segments) exceeds $5, nothing changes.

If your monthly usage totals less than $5, your account will be billed the $5 minimum monthly usage fee.

Don’t want to continue?

If you prefer not to be charged, you can close your account before June 30, 2025 to avoid the fee.
