Shares here are read over the models both editions asked, so they can differ by a point or two from the standing above, which counts every model in this edition.
The floor is 11 points of share, measured: how far the models move a leader on their own when the same questions are asked twice with nothing changed. A larger change is movement; a smaller one is noise, and both are shown. Movement is read over the twelve models both editions asked; GPT-6 Luna, Muse Glimmer 30B joined this edition and are in the standing but not yet in the comparison.

What the models said for it
Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.
“Wasabi - Best Overall Value ... Bottom line: For pure cost savings, Backblaze B2 or Wasabi will save you 70-80%” Kimi K2 · Object storage · budget prompt · first choice
“the best object storage service is typically either Wasabi or Backblaze B2” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Object storage · direct prompt · first choice
“Choose Wasabi if: - You want the simplest, most predictable pricing” Kimi K2 · Object storage · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“I'd recommend Wasabi or Backblaze B2 as the default short list” Perplexity Sonar · Object storage · paraphrase prompt · first choice
And against it
Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.
“Services to Avoid ... Wasabi Technologies | • 90‑day minimum retention per object” MiniMax M2.5 · Object storage · negative prompt · hard negative
“Why avoid or extra cautious? 90-day minimum retention policy” Grok 4.1 Fast · Object storage · negative prompt · hard negative
“Wasabi has a 90-day minimum storage commitment... This is fine for long-term archives but terrible for highly volatile temporary files.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Object storage · scale prompt · soft negative
“Caveat: 90-day minimum storage retention — you pay even if you delete files early. Not ideal if you delete data frequently.” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Object storage · budget prompt · soft negative

How it is countedHide how it is counted
Every page wasabi.com exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated. An event counts as online when its address or title says so (webinar, on demand, virtual or online summit); a conference, summit, trade show, expo or roadshow that does not say so is counted as a conference or event, which on a vendor's site is mostly in person. Read September 29, 2026.
