Bunny Storage
Pros
- + Free delivery into Bunny CDN, free API egress, and zero request fees — the opposite of hyperscaler billing
- + Simple pricing: $0.01/GB per region Standard (HDD), $0.02/GB Edge (SSD), $1 monthly minimum
- + 15 storage regions with automatic replication and region failover; 99.99% availability SLA
- + S3-compatible API (rclone, presigned URLs, SHA256 checksums) plus HTTP API, FTP/SFTP, and web file manager
- + One-click integration as origin for Bunny pull zones, with Perma-Cache for permanent edge storage
Cons
- - S3 compatibility is in public preview and must be enabled per zone at creation — not a finished S3 platform
- - No cold/archive tier: backup-style retention pays full Standard or Edge rates
- - Edge SSD tier's primary region is Frankfurt only; Standard zones can be created in any region
- - Free egress is scoped to Bunny CDN — neutral multi-cloud storage architectures will feel constrained
- - Unverified claim in the old listing: object versioning and CORS specifics were not documented on reviewed pages
ImageKit.io
Pros
- + Transformations are not billed — pricing runs on bandwidth, storage, video units, extension units, seats, and purges
- + Genuine free tier with the full processing feature surface (20 GB bandwidth, 3 GB DAM storage)
- + Amazon CloudFront delivery with seven AWS processing regions and bring-your-own-CDN support
- + Storage-agnostic origins: S3, GCS, Azure Blob, or the built-in media library
- + Broad AI operation set (background removal, upscaling, generative fill, auto-tagging) plus DAM in one platform
Cons
- - Uptime commitment percentage is defined in the terms but not publicly legible
- - Video and extension "units" make bill forecasting hard before a test month
- - Free and Lite bandwidth caps (20 GB / 40 GB) are easy to hit on a busy site
- - Collaboration and DAM governance features are gated at Pro ($89/month) and Enterprise
- - No independent performance record; edge-reach figures are CloudFront's, not ImageKit's
