11 Best Bunny.net Alternatives in 2026: Faster and Cheaper Picks

Evaluated October 2026, with list prices as checked August 2026: delivering 100 TB a month costs $500 on bunny.net's Volume network and $1,000 on its Standard network, while the lowest-priced bunny.net alternative in this comparison, BlazingCDN, costs $415. Price is only one reason teams move. Others need a security suite, programmable edge logic, in-country China delivery or a negotiated enterprise contract, and for those the right pick is a different vendor.

Per published price lists checked August 2026, 100 TB of monthly delivery costs $415 on BlazingCDN, $500 on bunny.net Volume, $990 on CDN77's plan covering up to 250 TB, and $6,965 for transfer alone on Amazon CloudFront pay as you go.

This guide gives you a cost table at 100 TB, eleven vendor verdicts with one honest limitation each, worked price math at 100 and 200 TB, and a best-fit-by-workload matrix you can take into a shortlist meeting. The short verdict:

• High-volume video, software and game delivery: BlazingCDN or CDN77.
• Security-first SaaS: Cloudflare, with Akamai for regulated enterprises.
• Programmable edge and APIs: Fastly or Cloudflare.
• Cloud-native stacks: Amazon CloudFront, Google Cloud CDN or Azure Front Door.
• China and underserved regions: CDNetworks or Gcore.

Why teams look for a BunnyCDN alternative

Teams usually look for a BunnyCDN alternative for one of five reasons: the Standard network bill at 100 TB and above, regional price differences, a need for a full security suite or mature edge compute, in-country China delivery, or a procurement requirement for negotiated contracts and enterprise SLAs.

Those themes recur across public reviews and community threads. Bunny.net earns consistent praise for its dashboard, fast setup and transparent pay-as-you-go billing, and it has added edge scripting, storage and a security product in recent years. The friction appears at scale: the Volume network halves the per-TB price but runs on fewer locations, so teams trade reach for cost.

Compliance-driven buyers hit a different wall. They often need a named account team, contractual remedies and dedicated capacity that a self-serve plan does not offer.

How to evaluate a bunny.net alternative

Score every candidate on the same six criteria, at your actual monthly volume rather than a vendor's headline rate:

• Cost per TB at your volume: include request fees, regional multipliers, monthly minimums and commitments.
• Billing model: metered tiers, flat plans or a negotiated commit, and what happens when you exceed it.
• Protocol and feature fit: HTTP/3, WebSockets, edge compute, signed URLs, origin shield, maximum object size.
• Configuration flexibility: cache keys, rules engines, API coverage, purge speed.
• Support model: who answers, through which channel, and how fast.
• Switching cost: DNS cutover, token schemes, log pipelines and contract exit terms.

Custom PoPs and dedicated edge capacity

Custom point-of-presence (PoP) options vary widely, and the label means different things per vendor:

• Dedicated edge nodes: reserved infrastructure for your traffic, typically available on enterprise contracts from Akamai, Gcore and CDNetworks.
• Bring-your-own-PoP: you supply hardware or colocation, and the vendor supplies orchestration software.
• Location or zone control: you limit delivery to regions that match your audience, usually to control regional pricing.
• Cloud-region delivery: the edge is tied to a hyperscaler, as with Amazon CloudFront and Google Cloud CDN.

Bunny.net alternatives compared at 100 TB a month

At 100 TB a month, published bunny.net alternatives range from $415 to $6,965 before request fees, according to published price lists checked August 2026. Akamai, Fastly at this volume and CDNetworks do not publish prices, so their rows show the billing model only. Rows are ordered by lowest published cost at 100 TB.

Only BlazingCDN prices 100 TB below bunny.net's own Volume network, and every hyperscaler costs at least twice bunny.net Standard on pay-as-you-go terms.

The eleven alternatives, vendor by vendor

BlazingCDN

A pay-as-you-go CDN for video on demand, live HLS and DASH, software updates, game patches and large archives, on NVMe SSD servers with Anycast routing, a 96 percent plus average cache hit ratio and objects up to 50 GB. Measured June 2026 on a 100 MB HTTPS download: 24 ms and 1.11 Gb/s in North America, 27 ms and 1.12 Gb/s in Europe, 47 ms and 761 Mb/s in Asia. The BlazingCDN vs bunny.net comparison covers feature parity. Limitation: no HTTP/3, WebSockets, WAF or free tier.

CDN77

Strong at video and large-file delivery, with a plan that covers up to 250 TB for $990, which makes it attractive near that ceiling. Limitation: at 100 TB you pay for capacity you do not use.

Gcore

Good reach into the Middle East, Africa and Central Asia, plus gaming-oriented edge and private deployments on enterprise plans. Limitation: about EUR 2,000 at list for 100 TB.

KeyCDN

Simple per-GB billing and a clean API, useful as a secondary CDN. Limitation: 100 TB into Asia costs $5,200, double the North American price.

Amazon CloudFront

Native IAM, Lambda@Edge and unified AWS billing, with flat-rate plans that undercut pay-as-you-go. Limitation: $6,965 for transfer alone at 100 TB pay as you go, before request fees.

Cloudflare

The strongest integrated WAF, bot management, zero-trust and Workers platform in this list. Limitation: high-volume media pricing sits in Enterprise contracts reported to start near $5,000 a month.

Fastly

Request-path control through VCL and WebAssembly Compute, with fast purge suited to streaming and APIs. Limitation: its published rate card reaches $2,087 at about 20 TB, so volume pricing is negotiated.

Akamai

The broadest enterprise platform: dedicated deployments, compliance programmes, edge compute and security. Limitation: no public CDN price list and a sales-led procurement cycle.

Google Cloud CDN and Media CDN

Media CDN targets large video workloads with QUIC support and tight Google Cloud integration. Limitation: about $10,500 at 200 TB on list pricing.

CDNetworks

In-country China infrastructure and broad Asia-Pacific coverage. Limitation: quote-based pricing, and mainland delivery requires your own ICP licence.

Azure Front Door

Azure-native routing with an integrated WAF and rules engine. Limitation: about $9,500 a month at 150 TB, where BlazingCDN costs $590.

Worked cost math at 100 TB and 200 TB

As of October 2026, BlazingCDN charges from $5 per TB down to $2.50 per TB at volume on progressive marginal tiers, with one rate for US, Europe and Asia and no request fees, so 100 TB costs $415 and 200 TB costs $765 a month. Current rates are on the BlazingCDN pricing page.

The 100 TB arithmetic: 5 TB at $5 ($25), 20 TB at $4.50 ($90), 75 TB at $4 ($300), total $415. Add 100 TB at $3.50 ($350) and 200 TB reaches $765. Against bunny.net Standard at 100 TB the difference is $585 a month, or $7,020 a year; against bunny.net Volume it is only $85 a month, so reach and features matter more than price in that pairing.

At 200 TB, list alternatives (published price lists, checked August 2026) are CDN77 at $990, Amazon CloudFront Premium at $3,500, KeyCDN at $3,600 to $11,200 by continent, and Google Cloud CDN at about $10,500. Our estimate for bunny.net Volume at the same per-GB rate is about $1,000.

Below about 46 TB a month the ranking flips: Amazon CloudFront Business ($200 for 50 TB) and Cloudflare Pro or Business ($25 and $250 a month) cost less than any metered plan here.

Best fit by workload

Pick the vendor that wins your dominant workload, then run a second CDN for the rest rather than forcing one platform to cover everything.

FAQ: choosing a bunny.net alternative

What is the cheapest bunny CDN alternative at 100 TB a month?

Among published price lists checked August 2026, BlazingCDN is the lowest-priced bunny CDN alternative at 100 TB, at $415 a month, against $500 on bunny.net Volume and $990 on CDN77. Below about 46 TB, flat plans such as Cloudflare Pro or Amazon CloudFront Business cost less, so the answer depends on volume.

How long does a migration off bunny.net take?

A pull-zone migration off bunny.net usually takes days, not weeks, because the work is DNS, cache rules and URL signing. The slow parts are rewriting token authentication, re-pointing log pipelines and validating cache-hit ratio under real traffic. Run both CDNs in parallel behind weighted DNS before cutting over fully.

Can a bunny.net alternative run alongside bunny.net?

Yes, most bunny.net alternatives can run beside bunny.net as a second CDN behind DNS with a weighted traffic split. Start with 5 to 10 percent of traffic, compare edge TTFB, throughput and error rates per region, then shift weight. Keep signed-URL schemes compatible or issue tokens per CDN hostname.

Which bunny.net alternatives support HTTP/3 and edge compute?

Cloudflare, Fastly, Akamai, Amazon CloudFront and Google Media CDN support HTTP/3 and offer edge compute, which suits API and personalisation workloads. Cost-focused bunny.net alternatives built for heavy files, such as BlazingCDN, deliberately skip HTTP/3, WebSockets and edge compute, so pair them with an edge platform when you need both.

How should I test a bunny.net alternative before signing a contract?

Test any bunny.net alternative on real production objects, not synthetic files. Probe from at least 20 locations that match your audience for 72 hours, and record edge TTFB, throughput, cache-hit ratio, failover behaviour and the invoice the traffic would generate. Avoid contracts that block a parallel trial period.

Run a 72-hour bake-off against bunny.net

Take your ten most-requested objects, including one large file and a full HLS rendition ladder, and serve them through bunny.net and two shortlisted alternatives behind weighted DNS. For 72 hours, probe from at least 20 locations that mirror your traffic map, logging edge TTFB at p50 and p95, sustained throughput, cache-hit ratio and origin egress. Then price the measured volume on each vendor's real tiers, including request fees and regional multipliers. The result is a shortlist defended by your own data.

If your workload is high-volume video, software or game delivery, BlazingCDN offers a 14-day testing period on real production traffic at $5 per TB with the monthly minimum waived, enough to include it in this bake-off: start a BlazingCDN testing period.
