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
Cloudflare R2
Pros
- + Zero egress fees on all storage classes — no data transfer bill at all
- + Standing free tier: 10 GB-month storage, 1M Class A and 10M Class B ops monthly
- + S3-compatible API works with existing SDKs and migration tooling
- + Published durability (11 nines) and a 99.9% monthly uptime SLA with credits
- + Binds directly to Workers, Pages and public buckets with no cross-product egress
Cons
- - S3 feature surface is thinner — no replication topology, simpler lifecycle tooling
- - Class A operations at $4.50/million make write-heavy workloads pricier than storage-only math
- - Infrequent Access has a 30-day minimum storage duration and retrieval fees
- - Real lock-in sits in Workers-based processing around buckets, not the storage itself
- - Not suited to analytics-style scans or small-object high-churn data
