# Cloud Costs and Egress

Data transfer out is the line item that surprises teams most when traffic grows. With list prices often in the $0.05 to $0.09 per GB range, cloud egress can cost more than the compute behind it. This section is for CTOs, FinOps and finance leads, infrastructure engineers and founders who want to understand and reduce what they pay to move bytes.

Articles explain egress pricing on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, ingress vs egress, 95th percentile and committed bandwidth billing, cost management tools, and when moving workloads off the cloud makes sense. The focus is the cost of traffic in general; prices of specific CDN providers live in [provider pricing](https://blog.blazingcdn.com/provider-pricing?hsLang=en). For comparison, BlazingCDN charges $5.00 down to $2.50 per TB, with 100 TB at $415 a month.
