At this point Backblaze is little more than commodity storage to me and I stick with it because it provides the best combination of pricing and speed. I switched to Arq once I had multiple computers to backup and paying by the GB for me is cheaper than paying per computer. From a client-side perspective, Arq and Backblaze each have their own pros and cons.

Arq also sells a service* (rather than software) which stores on Wasabi. Slightly cheaper for my own needs (<1TB) and much less of a headache.

Thanks for mentioning Arq, that looks really useful. What are the cons you've found?
