Cloudflare Line

Local · serves all zones · 330+ city stops
FREE
Pro $20 · Biz $200
The all-stops local that reaches everywhere. Bundles CDN, DNS, free SSL, WAF, bot defense, and Workers compute into flat fares, with no per-GB charge on standard website plans and the strongest free tier in the system.
Global Network
330+ cities, one of the broadest footprints running
Workers Compute
Edge functions at ~$0.15 per million requests
R2 Storage
Object storage with no egress fees
Security Stack
Unmetered DDoS, Page Shield, API Shield, Waiting Room
Service NoticeReal cost can scatter across add-ons (Argo, Stream, Logpush). Per-zone billing compounds across domains. Acceptable-use policy restricts wholesale video on standard plans.
AW

CloudFront Line

Express · AWS interchange · 750+ PoP stops
$0.085/GB
1TB/mo free
The express that connects straight into the AWS terminal. 750+ PoPs plus embedded ISP stations, and the headline perk: zero egress when pulling from S3, EC2, or ALB in-region.
S3 Origin Transfer
Free data pull from AWS origins to the edge
Lambda@Edge
Edge logic in standard Node.js / Python
Shield + WAF
DDoS and firewall woven into AWS security
Price Classes
Restrict regions to control spend
Service NoticeLess intuitive setup; AWS familiarity needed. Per-request fees ($0.0075/10k HTTPS NA) and regional multipliers surprise finance. Weaker value outside AWS-native stacks.
FY

Fastly Line

Rapid · low-latency · ~90 PoP stops
~$0.12/GB
usage-based
The fewest stations (~90 PoPs) but the fastest run. Lowest P99 TTFB on cached segments and instant global purge under 150ms, with Compute@Edge running Wasm directly in the request path.
Instant Purge
Global cache clears in under 150ms
Compute@Edge
Wasm runtime for manifest manipulation
Edge SSAI
Per-viewer ad insertion and bitrate caps
Real-time Logs
Live observability in the request path
Service NoticePremium fare versus volume lines. Origin-fetch billed near delivery rate. Smallest footprint limits last-mile reach for the largest live events.
AK

Akamai Line

Heavy rail · enterprise · 4,100+ PoP stops
CUSTOM
~$0.049/GB @10TB
The original heavy rail, still carrying ~30% of all CDN traffic across a 4,100+ PoP ISP-embedded network, the safest line for global live events past a million concurrent riders.
Deepest Reach
ISP-embedded last-mile topology
Adaptive Media Delivery
Native LL-HLS for live streaming
Linode Edge Compute
Serverless transcoding at metro PoPs
Enterprise SLAs
100% uptime tiers with financial penalties
Service NoticeNo posted fare; expect a sales call. Complex line-item pricing across CDN, security, and performance. Slower change cycles and volume floors deter smaller, agile teams.
BN

Bunny.net Line

Value · budget-friendly · 119 PoP stops
$0.01/GB
from · no req fees
The value line that runs cheap and clean. From $0.01/GB in NA/EU with no per-request charges, a structural win for segmented video that piles up requests per GB.
No Request Fees
Transfer priced cleanly per GB
Request Coalescing
Smooths traffic spikes from launches and ads
Bunny Shield
Optional security without breaking budget
Easy Setup
Friendly dashboard for WordPress and static sites
Service NoticeSmaller footprint than the giants. Lighter security stack. Deep compliance (HIPAA, heavy PCI) favors Cloudflare or Akamai. Less enterprise brand recognition.
