Literally anyone else unless you’re a giant business, S3 is super expensive.
I only have experience with on prem, but have heard good things about backblaze.
I don’t put any compute on AWS. I just use it for object storage, which costs me pennies. (I still use heroku for compute and db 😔)
I’m actually looking into Digital Ocean. Based on my needs, I can move all my services over there and it will cost me $25/mo.

Surprise! Heroku is hosted on Amazon Web Services and has been for many years.
If you have some technical ability you can try self-hosting https://dokku.com/ which is open source and free to use on hardware that you pay for.
“Powered by Docker, you can install Dokku on any hardware. Use it on inexpensive cloud providers.”
Pick a VPS host. https://www.eucloud.tech/eu-providers/vps-hosting
“Once it’s set up on a host, you can push Heroku-compatible applications to it via Git. They’ll build using Heroku buildpacks and then run in isolated containers. The end result is your own, single-host version of Heroku.”
What type of storage are you buying that only costs you pennies?
Every time I went to buy amazon storage, I was always disappointed by the price. Glacier is the only affordable one, but Backblaze is probably better storage for personal use anyway.
AWS S3. I mostly store historic archives or small images (max 1024x1024px). It started out as pennies. Now, it costs me about $1.05 per month.
