The trap in the sub-$5 plans
Ranking by headline price rewards the very small plans. GigaRapid Eco AF30 is the clearest example: €2.99 a month looks unbeatable, but at 0.2 TB the terabyte works out at $17.17 — 5.0× the cost of the best value on this list.
The right question is not "which is cheapest" but "which is the cheapest that covers what I need". Below 1 TB a seedbox fills up within days and you end up paying for a migration.
