It's more expensive than one other provider, iDrive. But iDrive doesnt provide nearly the same level of service. Back laze is the cheapest full featured B2 service on the market. If you are concerned about data integrity of your backups but you cannot afford $18 a month, then you cannot afford to have that much data.
I admit that Storj is less expensive but it has egress costs which B2 + cloudflare doesn't (the latter with a free account)
