One thing people should bear in mind when looking at Wasabi is that they have a 90 day minimum retention period for their PAYG plans. So if you upload a large file and overwrite it tomorrow, you'll be charged the storage fee for the day plus the storage fee for the remaining 89 days, and then the storage fee for the new file, and so on.

The same goes for AWS IA and Glacier classes and Google's Nearline and Coldline. Unless you're storing files for a long time, always factor in the minimum retention period before estimating costs. It'll prevent any nasty billing surprises -- speaking from experience unfortunately.
