In a CloudFront vs BlazingCDN comparison, pay-as-you-go Amazon CloudFront data transfer costs 13 to 18 times BlazingCDN's metered price at every volume from 10 to 500 TB a month. CloudFront's flat-rate plans narrow that gap and reverse it near 50 TB. This article gives worked cost math at 10, 50, 100 and 500 TB, the request and regional fees that move a CloudFront bill, a hidden origin-egress cost, and a best-fit matrix by workload. At 100 TB a month, Amazon CloudFront costs $6,965 pay as you go for North America and Europe data transfer alone, or from $1,000 on its flat-rate Premium plan. BlazingCDN costs $415 on progressive marginal tiers with no request fees (published price lists, checked August 2026). At 50 TB the order changes: CloudFront Business costs $200 against BlazingCDN's $215. The verdict: pick BlazingCDN for heavy static delivery (video segments, installers, game patches, large archives) above roughly 50 TB a month. Pick Amazon CloudFront when the workload needs WebSockets, HTTP/3, edge compute or an integrated web application firewall (WAF), or when it fits inside a flat-rate plan allowance. Many teams will run both. ## **What drives the bill in CloudFront vs BlazingCDN** Amazon CloudFront meters four things: data transfer out by region and volume tier, HTTP and HTTPS requests, edge compute (CloudFront Functions and Lambda@Edge), and add-ons such as real-time logs and origin shield requests. AWS also publishes flat-rate plans that bundle transfer and request allowances with security features. BlazingCDN meters one thing: terabytes delivered, priced on progressive tiers with one rate for the US, Europe and Asia. The savings case depends on transfer being the dominant line item. For video, software and game delivery it almost always is. For a small-object web app it often is not, which is why the criteria below matter more than any headline rate: - **Cost per TB at your volume**, computed with marginal tiers, not the headline rate. - **Billing model**: request fees, regional multipliers, minimums, commitments. - **Protocol and feature fit**: HTTP/3, WebSockets, edge logic, WAF. - **Support model** and who answers a ticket at 3 a.m. - **Switching cost**, including origin egress once delivery leaves AWS. ## **CloudFront pricing comparison at 10, 50, 100 and 500 TB** On pay-as-you-go list prices, Amazon CloudFront costs $765, $3,965, $6,965 and $23,965 a month at 10, 50, 100 and 500 TB of North America and Europe transfer, after the 1 TB monthly no-charge allowance. BlazingCDN costs $47.50, $215, $415 and $1,815 at the same volumes. CloudFront's flat-rate Business plan wins at 50 TB. | Monthly volume | BlazingCDN (tiered, all regions) | Amazon CloudFront pay as you go (NA and EU transfer) | Amazon CloudFront flat-rate | BlazingCDN effective per TB | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 10 TB | $47.50 | $765 | Lower-tier plans exist; check whether the allowance fits | $4.75 | | 50 TB | $215 | $3,965 | $200 (Business) | $4.30 | | 100 TB | $415 | $6,965 | From $1,000 (Premium) | $4.15 | | 500 TB | $1,815 | $23,965 | Not published at this volume; ask AWS | $3.63 | Pay-as-you-go CloudFront transfer costs 13 to 18 times BlazingCDN's tiered price at every volume shown, but at 50 TB the flat Business plan undercuts BlazingCDN by $15. BlazingCDN publishes this blog, so verify this result on your own traffic; the paid 14-day testing period exists for that. ### How the numbers are built CloudFront figures use the published North America and Europe tiers: $0.085 per GB for the first 10 TB, $0.080 for the next 40 TB, $0.060 for the next 100 TB and $0.040 for the next 350 TB, minus $85 for the 1 TB allowance. At 500 TB: $850 + $3,200 + $6,000 + $14,000 = $24,050, minus $85 = $23,965. AWS also negotiates private pricing for committed volume; those rates are not published. BlazingCDN uses marginal tiers, like tax brackets. At 500 TB: 5 TB at $5.00 ($25) + 20 TB at $4.50 ($90) + 75 TB at $4.00 ($300) + 400 TB at $3.50 ($1,400) = $1,815. At 10 TB: $25 + 5 TB at $4.50 = $47.50. As of November 2026, BlazingCDN charges from $5 per TB down to $2.50 per TB at volume, with one rate for the US, Europe and Asia and no request fees, regional multipliers, setup fee or long-term contract: 100 TB costs $415 and 500 TB costs $1,815. Current rates are on the [**BlazingCDN pricing page with the full tier table**](https://blazingcdn.com/pricing/). ### Flat-rate plans change the 50 TB answer BlazingCDN's metered price crosses $200 at about 46 TB, so between 46 and 50 TB CloudFront Business is cheaper, and it bundles security features BlazingCDN does not sell. The flat plans carry request allowances, so a small-object workload can outgrow them before it reaches the transfer allowance. Above 50 TB, Premium starts at $1,000 for 100 TB and reaches $3,500 at 200 TB, against BlazingCDN's $415 and $765. ## **CloudFront cost beyond data transfer** A CloudFront cost estimate built only on per-GB transfer understates the bill for small objects and non-Western audiences. Request fees, regional tiers, edge compute and logging each add a line, and the size of that line depends on object size and geography rather than on total terabytes. ### Request fees scale with object size, not volume CloudFront lists HTTPS requests at $0.0100 per 10,000 in North America and Europe (published price list). At 100 TB of 2 MB HLS segments, that is 50 million requests, about $50. At 100 TB of 100 KB images, it is 1 billion requests, about $1,000, before the 10 million request monthly allowance. BlazingCDN has no request fees at any object size. ### Regional rates Outside North America and Europe, CloudFront's first-tier rate runs about $0.109 to $0.120 per GB across India, Japan, Australia, South America and Southeast Asia (estimate from AWS's published regional tiers, 2025 to 2026). That is 28 to 41 percent above the $0.085 North America rate. BlazingCDN charges the same tiered rate for the US, Europe and Asia. ### Edge compute, logs and support CloudFront Functions list at $0.10 per million invocations and Lambda@Edge at $0.60 per million requests plus duration. Real-time logs add a per-log-line charge and a Kinesis stream. Paid AWS Support plans are priced as a share of the monthly AWS bill. BlazingCDN includes real-time statistics, Prometheus metrics and a 24/7/365 helpdesk with an engineer reply within 3 business hours. ### The switching cost CloudFront hides: origin egress AWS does not bill transfer from S3, EC2 or load balancer origins to CloudFront. Move delivery to any other CDN and every cache miss pays S3 internet egress, published around $0.09 per GB for the first 10 TB. At BlazingCDN's 96 percent or higher average cache hit ratio, 100 TB a month pulls about 4 TB from origin: roughly $360 (our estimate), taking the total near $775. That is still below CloudFront Premium's $1,000, but it erases most of the gap at 50 TB. Origin shield and request coalescing, included on every BlazingCDN plan, cut miss traffic further. Video CDN keeps the library inside the CDN at $0.02 per GB per month after the first 500 GB, and Cloud Storage costs $0.015 per GB per month. ## **Performance: what the published numbers support** BlazingCDN, measured June 2026 on a 100 MB HTTPS download, recorded 27 ms and 1.12 Gb/s in Europe, 24 ms and 1.11 Gb/s in North America, and 47 ms and 761 Mb/s in Asia. It runs NVMe SSD servers with Anycast routing and built-in failover. Amazon CloudFront has a very large global footprint and deep AWS integration. No same-method, same-date benchmark of both exists here, so treat any vendor-neutral claim of a winner with suspicion. Verify on your own stack: serve the same 100 MB object through both hostnames, from the same vantage points, and record p50 and p95 time to first byte and throughput per country. On CloudFront, read the X-Cache response header and Age to separate hits from misses, and compare hit ratio on real traffic, not on a warmed test file. ## **Security, protocols and features** | Criterion | Amazon CloudFront | BlazingCDN | | --- | --- | --- | | Billing model | Regional tiers plus request fees, or flat-rate plans | Progressive per-TB tiers, one global rate | | Security | AWS WAF and DDoS protection integrate natively | Signed URLs, tokens, geo and IP lists, referrer rules, rate limiting; no WAF or DDoS product | | Protocols | HTTP/3, WebSockets supported | HTTP/2, IPv6, TLS 1.3; no HTTP/3 or WebSockets | | Edge logic | CloudFront Functions, Lambda@Edge (metered) | Custom cache rules set up with an engineer; image processing included | | Onboarding | Self-service | About one hour, zones configured with an engineer | Amazon CloudFront wins on platform breadth; BlazingCDN wins on cost per TB for static delivery and covers only the delivery layer. Amazon CloudFront's genuine strength is integration: S3, IAM, WAF and edge compute in one account. Its limitation is billing complexity, with four or more meters that move independently. BlazingCDN's strength is a single meter at $4.15 per TB effective at 100 TB. Its limitation is scope: no HTTP/3, WebSockets, transcoding, WAF or DDoS mitigation, so teams keep their existing security stack beside it. ## **When is BlazingCDN a CloudFront alternative?** BlazingCDN is a practical CloudFront alternative for high-volume static delivery above roughly 50 TB a month: video on demand, live HLS and DASH segments, software installers, game patches and large files up to 50 GB per object. It is not an alternative for applications that depend on WebSockets, HTTP/3, edge compute or an integrated WAF. | Workload | Better fit | Why | | --- | --- | --- | | Streaming and media, VOD or HLS above 50 TB | BlazingCDN | $415 vs $1,000 or more at 100 TB; Video CDN keeps origin out of the path | | Gaming and software, patches and installers | BlazingCDN | Release-day spikes billed per TB with no overage penalties; cache warm-up via API | | SaaS app traffic with WebSockets or HTTP/3 | Amazon CloudFront | Protocol support and edge logic BlazingCDN does not offer | | Sites at 46 to 50 TB needing bundled WAF | Amazon CloudFront Business | $200 flat with security included | | Mixed app plus heavy assets | Both | CloudFront for the app, BlazingCDN for large static files behind weighted DNS | The deciding variable is the share of the bill that is static terabytes: the larger it is, the stronger the case for moving that slice. The [**BlazingCDN vs Amazon CloudFront comparison page**](https://blazingcdn.com/vs/aws-cloudfront/) covers the feature mapping in more detail. ## **Migrating from Amazon CloudFront without cutover risk** BlazingCDN can run as a second CDN behind DNS with a weighted traffic split. Lower the record TTL a day ahead, send 10 percent of static traffic, and hold for a week. Compare p95 time to first byte, cache hit ratio, 4xx and 5xx rates and the invoice line before raising the weight. Map each CloudFront behavior explicitly: cache key and query string handling, forwarded headers, TLS certificates on custom domains, and signed URLs or cookies, which must be reissued in BlazingCDN's token format by the application. Invalidation scripts move to the purge API. Keep the CloudFront distribution live until the rollback window closes; rollback is a single weight change back to zero. ## **FAQ: CloudFront vs BlazingCDN pricing and migration** ### Is Amazon CloudFront cheaper than BlazingCDN at low volume? Sometimes. Between about 46 and 50 TB a month, Amazon CloudFront's Business flat-rate plan at $200 costs less than BlazingCDN's metered price, which reaches $215 at 50 TB. Below 46 TB, BlazingCDN's tiers usually cost less than Business, though AWS's lower flat plans may fit smaller sites if their request allowances cover the traffic. ### How much does Amazon CloudFront cost for 100 TB a month? Amazon CloudFront costs $6,965 pay as you go for 100 TB of North America and Europe transfer, or from $1,000 on the flat-rate Premium plan (published price lists, checked August 2026). Request fees, non-Western regional rates, Lambda@Edge and real-time logs add to the pay-as-you-go figure, so model your own object size and audience mix. ### Does Amazon CloudFront charge request fees that BlazingCDN does not? Yes. Amazon CloudFront lists HTTPS requests at $0.0100 per 10,000 in North America and Europe, which is about $1,000 a month for 1 billion small-image requests. BlazingCDN charges only per terabyte delivered, with no request fees, so its bill does not change with object size. For 2 MB video segments, CloudFront request fees stay small. ### How long does a migration from Amazon CloudFront to BlazingCDN take? BlazingCDN onboarding takes about one hour, with zones set up together with an engineer. The full migration takes longer because signed URL schemes, cache keys and purge workflows must be rebuilt, and a weighted DNS split should run for at least a week at 10 percent before traffic shifts further. Keep CloudFront live for rollback. ### How can I test BlazingCDN against CloudFront before switching? Test BlazingCDN on paid production traffic: the 14-day testing period is billed at $5 per TB, and plans start at $25 a month, or you can contact the team to arrange a test. Route a weighted share of static traffic through it and compare time to first byte, hit ratio and cost per TB against CloudFront. ## **Run a weighted split before you renegotiate** This week, export three months of CloudFront usage reports and break them into transfer by region, request count and average object size. Compute your effective cost per TB, then add the origin egress a second CDN would trigger at a 96 percent hit ratio. If static assets are more than half the bill, route 10 percent of that traffic through a second provider for seven days and compare p95 time to first byte and the invoice line by line. The numbers either justify a move or give you leverage in an AWS private pricing conversation. If the math points at heavy static traffic, test BlazingCDN on paid traffic from $25 a month, or contact the team for a test, through the [**BlazingCDN testing and contact form**](https://blazingcdn.com/sign-up-contact-form/).
