Are there analogues of filestack.com?

Question

Data storage

Hello!
In my projects, I implemented file uploads via ajax. Now I'm making a website where visitors will upload images that will be printed later. Accidentally stumbled upon the site filestack.com which allows you to abandon your own script and save a lot of time using their API. But the downside of this service is the price - on the free plan you can upload 250 images, and on the cheapest plan you can download 10,000 with a cost of $49 per month. I understand that you can’t do without investments, but $49 for a site that, most likely, will not even choose 5000 downloads, seems to me a little expensive. Of course, if the site starts to bring some kind of profit, then there are even no questions, but for now it is being done on naked enthusiasm, on interest.
Actually the question is whether there are any analogues of such a service. From the requirements - you need an API (preferably in JavaScript, but not essential), an acceptable price and so that the uploaded images do not pop up somewhere later =)
