Depends which coin, the blockchain size, and how much is stored in it. PoW only uses more if you are mining it too

FindYouCoin (2 days old), trying to make sure it won't bust a 5gb/month data limit.

It depends partially on how old the coin is. Mintcoin's blockchain is about a gigabyte and the coin is over half a year old. A few weeks after it launched its blockchain was only a few megabytes.

That only matters while syncing and you can bootstrap if needed. What matters is how much information is stored in new blocks
