A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

Browsing programmatic IPFS solutions...

Pretty fed up with the steep pricing curve that Pinata offers
NFT.storage is great, however their API is under maintenance
web3.storage looks great so far

Are there any other solutions out there that are worth investigating?

What specific do you find expensive with Pinata?

Specifically being on a lower rate for hobby usage and then being slammed with huge charges when usage / storage rises...and if using a pinata gateway it makes moving away very difficult...so kind of cornered into paying ~$500 per/month while migrating all pinata gateways away from pinata

Sorry for missing the notifications! Yes absolutely, at that point it was certainly not a hobby project. However, it started out as a smaller project and grew with time

Thanks for the response! At $500/month it doesn’t sound like a hobby project. We might have a pricing misalignment so I’m open minded here. Generally, to get to $500/month, you’re experiencing heavy usage. Was that not the case for you?
