What the model leaves out

Pro rates are for the iad1 (Washington D.C.) region; other regions differ. The $20/month Pro fee is Vercel's platform plan and comes with $20 of usage credit shared across all Vercel resources, which can absorb Blob usage — not modelled. Hobby is free but Blob stops working (for 30 days) once the limits are hit, and its allowance is shared with the project's other Vercel usage. Operations ($0.40/M simple after 10K, $5.00/M advanced after 2K on Hobby), CDN requests and Fast Origin Transfer on cache misses ($0.06/GB) are not modelled. Pro can opt into Flat Rate CDN, whose lowest tier (included with Pro) covers 1M CDN requests and 1 TB of transfer including Blob Data Transfer, but Vercel excludes workloads where file delivery is the main use, so on-demand rates are shown.

Before you commit

On Hobby, Blob stops working for 30 days once you exceed the limits, and the allowance is shared with the project's other Vercel usage.
Cache misses add Fast Origin Transfer and CDN request charges, and blobs over 512 MB are never cached, so every access is a miss.
Dashboard browsing and uploads count as Advanced Operations ($5 per million), and multipart uploads count one per part.
Pro's optional Flat Rate CDN includes 1 TB of transfer that also covers Blob Data Transfer, but Vercel excludes bulk file distribution and using the CDN as file hosting.
