Bunny.net
Pros
- + Among the cheapest delivery rates on the market: $0.01/GB in Europe/North America with no request fees
- + A written 99.99% SLA with a published outage-credit schedule — rare at this price tier
- + S3-compatible storage with free delivery to Bunny CDN, free API egress, and no request charges
- + Perma-Cache, SafeHop origin retries, edge rules, free Let's Encrypt SSL, and DDoS mitigation included
- + Clear region-based pricing, overcharge protection, and payment by card, PayPal, or crypto
Cons
- - Regional bandwidth multipliers (up to 6x for Middle East/Africa) can triple costs for skewed audiences
- - Lean support organization — no named TAMs or enterprise support tiers on standard plans
- - Shallower storage tooling than S3: no cold tier, limited lifecycle automation, replication capped by region count
- - Smaller ecosystem and third-party integration surface than CloudFront, Cloudflare, or Fastly
AWS CloudFront
Pros
- + Always Free Tier (1 TB transfer, 10M requests, 2M function invocations monthly) covers small sites at zero cost
- + 750+ edge PoPs with 15 regional edge caches — one of the largest delivery networks available
- + Programmable edge: CloudFront Functions and Lambda@Edge with a KeyValueStore for config
- + Native WAF, Shield Standard DDoS protection, free ACM certificates and tight S3/ALB integration
Cons
- - SLA is 99.9% — weaker than AWS's load balancer SLA — and flat-rate Free/Pro plans carry no uptime commitment
- - Two pricing models (pay-as-you-go tiers vs flat-rate plans) with features gated to Business ($200/month) and above
- - Deep configuration surface: cache behavior ordering, TTL semantics and invalidation costs at scale
- - Edge compute and access-control bindings are AWS-specific — hard to migrate to another CDN
