An independent reference for the smallest storage unit on the market.

Most storage search results are aggregator lead-funnels. They show you a $10 headline price that rolls to $50 by month two, link out to whichever operator pays the highest referral fee, and don't mention that the operator's own “5×5” might not actually exist at your nearest facility.

This site does the opposite. It answers the size question with arithmetic against real item dimensions, explains how a storage quote is structured so the month-two rate is not a surprise, and reports the one free public price series that covers the industry. The size decision happens before the price decision, which is the right order.

In September 2026 we withdrew the per-metro rate table and the national price figure this site used to carry. The table had been built from an operator's own listing pages, which is not something their terms allow, and the national figure leaned on a subscription rate product we had no licence to republish. We removed both rather than re-estimating them. The methodology page sets out exactly what changed.
