The cheapest CDN for heavy traffic
$5 a terabyte, stepping down to $2.50 at volume, with the whole table printed on the site. One rate across North America, Europe and Asia: no base fee, no request charges, no regional multipliers. Cheap here means cheap per terabyte, on the traffic that actually costs you money.
Paid, per terabyte, from roughly 5 TB a month. No free tier and no self-serve signup: an engineer configures the zone with you.
Cheap per terabyte, not free
The rate on this page is what you pay for traffic actually delivered. There is no free tier and no self-serve signup: a zone is configured with an engineer, for your content. Below roughly 5 TB a month the saving does not cover anyone’s migration, ours included.
We are the cheapest for you if
- Your invoice is driven by terabytes delivered, not by requests or seats
- You move video, game builds, installers or archives, where the volume is real
- You want the number printed before the call, not quoted after it
- You are past 5 TB a month and the delivery line has started to hurt
- You would rather add a second CDN than migrate everything at once
That is exactly what the rest of this page prices: the same 100 TB against every published table we could find, then our own tiers in full, then a slider for your own volume.
Someone else is cheaper if
- You need a free plan. We do not have one, and we are not planning one
- You move under about 46 TB a month, where the entry plans below genuinely beat us
- Your traffic is mostly HTML and API calls, where request counts drive the bill
- You want DNS, WAF and bot management bundled into the same invoice
Under about 46 TB a month the entry plans from Cloudflare and CloudFront genuinely beat our metered rate. We work through both of them below the table rather than leaving them out.
The same 100 TB a month, priced from every published table
One volume, twelve providers, every figure taken from the provider’s own published price list. Where a plan has a cheaper route than the pay-as-you-go meter, we show the cheaper one.
PROVIDER
100 TB A MONTH
BlazingCDN
$415
$4.15 a terabyte effective, billed on our published tiers
bunny.net
$500
On their 10 PoP Volume network. The same 100 TB on the Standard network is $1,000
CDN77
$990
One plan covering up to 250 TB, so it is the same figure at 50 TB and at 250
Amazon CloudFront
$1,000 and up
Premium starts at $1,000 a month, and its base allowance is the same 50 TB: past that the allowance is configured on top, and their own worked example at 200 TB is $3,500. On pay as you go the transfer meter alone is $6,965
Gcore
€2,000
PRO plan at list, plus €0.02 per GB
KeyCDN
$2,600
North America and Europe. The same 100 TB into Asia is $5,200
Google Cloud CDN
$5,378
Transfer meter alone, before cache fill and cache lookups
Microsoft Azure
Published to 150 TB
Front Door charges $35 or $330 a month before a byte moves, then prices nine zones separately. At 150 TB their own table is $9,500
Fastly
Not published
Their published table stops at about 20 TB, where the month is $2,087
Cloudflare
Not published
Enterprise is widely reported to start around $5,000 a month. Their self serve plans are $25 and $250, but their terms restrict video and large files on those
Akamai
Not published
They publish no CDN price at all. At this volume it is a negotiation
Cloudinary
Not comparable
Billed in credits rather than terabytes. On video that works out at roughly $207 a terabyte
Our figure is the full monthly bill on our published progressive tiers. CDN77, bunny.net, Gcore, KeyCDN and CloudFront are their own published plan prices at this volume. Google Cloud CDN shows the transfer meter alone, because it bills three meters and the rest depends on your traffic shape. Every figure checked on the provider’s own pricing page on 29 August 2026. Currencies are not converted anywhere on this page.
Below about 46 TB, two plans beat us
Our own comparison pages put that number in writing, so this one will too. Under roughly 46 TB a month, two published plans come in cheaper than our metered rate. Here is what each of them assumes, and where it stops.
An allowance, not a rate
Amazon CloudFront Business, $200
The plan carries 50 TB of transfer and 125 million requests, delivered from their whole network. At exactly 50 TB that is $200 against our $215, so at that volume they win outright and we say so.
The ceiling is what changes the arithmetic. Premium, the next plan up, starts at $1,000 a month on the same 50 TB base allowance, with more bought on top. And AWS is explicit about what an allowance means: “If you exceed your allowance, you may experience reduced performance, for example serving your traffic from fewer or more distant edge locations, but you won’t incur overage charges.” On a network you bought to be close to your users, that is the line item moving instead of the bill.
Cheap until they read your traffic
Cloudflare Pro and Business, $25 and $250
Genuinely good plans for pages, APIs and images, at a price we do not try to match.
Their own Service Specific Terms reserve the right to limit CDN use for serving video, or a disproportionate percentage of large files, on the Free, Pro and Business plans. That is the exact traffic this page is about, which is why the table above shows their heavy-traffic tier as not published.
So if you move under about 46 TB a month, take one of those and come back later. This page is about the volume above it, where an allowance turns into a ceiling and a rate does not: $415 at 100 TB, $765 at 200 TB, about $1,815 at 500 TB, with nothing to re-sign on the way up.
Set your own volume, read the number
Monthly traffic

per month · $4.15 per TB · same rate in every region
The same month, split across our regions
- Regional multipliersNone
- Base or platform feeNone
- Request chargesIncluded
- HTTPS, custom domain, origin shieldIncluded
- CommitmentMonthly
The split above is only an illustration of how a month divides between regions. It does not change the price: the rate is the same wherever the traffic lands.
How the rate steps down
First 5 TB
- $25 for the whole tier
- This is also the monthly minimum
5 to 25 TB
- $90 for the next 20 TB
- 25 TB in total: about $115
25 to 100 TB
- $300 for the next 75 TB
- 100 TB in total: about $415
Why the number is that low
Cheap here is a consequence of what the network does and does not do. It is not a discount that expires at renewal.
One rate for three regions
North America, Europe and Asia bill at the same rate. A viewer in Singapore costs what a viewer in Frankfurt costs, so the bill follows your traffic graph instead of a zone matrix.
No meters beside the terabytes
Requests, HTTPS, custom domains and origin shield are included. One line on the invoice, and you can work it out yourself before the month starts.
Progressive tiers, not plan tiers
Each rate applies only to the traffic inside its range, the way tax brackets work. You never pay for headroom you did not use, and growing does not mean renegotiating.
Sized for large objects
The network is built for video segments, installers and archives, which is what keeps a per-terabyte price sustainable. It is also why we are not the cheapest place to serve 200 GB of HTML.
Cheaper does not have to mean slower, and you do not have to take our word for it: point one pull zone at us, keep your current CDN running, and compare on your own files. Our own measurements are on Performance Metrics.
