Our take
Pick Tigris if teams who will stay inside the monthly 5 GB / 10k Class A / 100k Class B free slice while they open a first Buckets list, then pay Standard at $0.02 / GB-month when objects grow — and who care that egress stays $0. Pick Xata if teams who will stay on Cloud micro at $0.012 / hour + $0.28 / GB-month (no card) while they open a first Projects list, then size up to small / medium when a branch needs 2–4
