It's simple, Backblaze "home" doesn't work on NAS boxes, but Backblaze B2 does, Synology NAS supports it natively via the Cloud Sync package.

Backblaze home is $5 flat rate for a single machine.

Backblaze B2 has granular pricing but it's like <$20 a year cheap for several of my clients.

They have a pricing calculator on this page:

For what I want (a fairly static 2 TB backup), it would cost around $130 / year. If my QNAP box supports it, I think I'm going to sign up.

Just to be accurate Cloud Sync IS NOT a backup solution as one would typically imagine. You can set Sync to be one way (DSM -> B2) but it's not available for Hyperbackup so it's not a real backup service.
