CDN pricing 2026

CDN Pricing 2026 Verified: Cloudflare $0, Bunny $0.01/GB, Fastly $0.08, 3 Vendors Quote-Only

Independent reference. Per-GB egress rates pulled from each vendor's own published pricing page on 17 June 2026, with an interactive cost calculator. Three vendors (Akamai, Edgio, Azure Front Door) refuse to publish a rate card; we say so instead of inventing numbers.

Verified 17 June 2026 against 9 public pricing pages plus 3 quote-only confirmations

Direct answer
What does CDN pricing actually look like in 2026?
The two pricing models are per-GB egress (Fastly $0.08 to $0.12/GB in NA/EU, AWS CloudFront $0.085, Bunny $0.01, KeyCDN $0.04 dropping to $0.01) and plan bundles (Cloudflare Free unmetered or Pro $25/mo, CDN77 Growth $990/mo for 250 TB, Vercel Pro $20/user/mo + $0.15/GB overage). Akamai, Edgio and Azure Front Door are quote-only. The right vendor is the one whose model matches your traffic shape, not the one with the lowest sticker price.

Estimates use each vendor's lowest published per-GB rate for the selected region mix at the cheapest tier. Real invoices vary with cache hit ratio, request counts, premium features, and negotiated commitments. We never infer prices for quote-only vendors.

What the number is and is not
The estimate is each vendor's rack-rate floor: their lowest published per-GB rate at the cheapest tier, with free tiers subtracted. Real invoices are higher once you add request counts, premium features (WAF, image optimisation, bot management), cache-miss penalties, and commitment-based discounts. Use the matrix to negotiate, not to forecast to the cent.

Each row links to the dedicated vendor breakdown. The cheapest published rate is the vendor's own lowest-tier number, not an estimate we invented.

PoP-count claims (vendor stated)

PoP counts are what each vendor claims on their own marketing page. They are useful for region coverage hints but not for raw performance comparison; a 100-PoP network with peering in the right places will beat a 500-PoP network in many markets.

Why three vendors stay quote-only

Akamai, Edgio and Azure CDN/Front Door do not publish per-GB rates that you can quote back to procurement. In Akamai's case it is policy; for Edgio the entire product's commercial status has been uncertain since the 2024 Chapter 11; for Azure CDN, Microsoft retired the Standard Microsoft and Standard Edgio SKUs in 2025 and Front Door now sits behind EA-discounted pricing for any meaningful volume. We list them with the source link so you know what you are dealing with.

Akamai
Quote only

Policy. No public rate card. Quotes anchor on commitment tiers.

Edgio (was Limelight)
Quote only

Vendor financial continuity uncertain after 2024 Chapter 11. Confirm operation before signing.

Azure CDN / Front Door
Quote only

Azure CDN Standard retired in 2025. Front Door rates exist but real volume sits in EA discount.
