A mid-market SaaS company serving 50 TB of assets per month through Sucuri's Platform plan pays roughly $499/month. That works out to about $0.010 per GB for combined WAF and CDN delivery. Sounds reasonable until you realize the same traffic volume through a standalone CDN costs a fraction of that. Understanding Sucuri CDN pricing requires unbundling what is, by design, a bundled product. This article gives you the exact per-GB math for every Sucuri tier as of Q2 2026, a side-by-side cost comparison against five alternatives, and a workload-profile decision matrix to determine whether paying the security premium makes sense for your architecture.
Sucuri does not sell CDN capacity independently. Every plan bundles its cloud-based WAF, malware scanning, and CDN delivery into a single monthly or annual fee. As of May 2026, Sucuri's published plans break down as follows:
| Plan | Price (annual billing) | CDN Included | Bandwidth Cap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic Platform | $199.99/yr (~$16.67/mo) | Yes (limited) | Not published |
| Pro Platform | $299.99/yr (~$25/mo) | Yes | Not published |
| Business Platform | $499.99/yr (~$41.67/mo) | Yes | Not published |
| Multi-Site / Enterprise | Custom | Yes | Negotiated |
Sucuri markets bandwidth as "unlimited" on its firewall plans, but the acceptable-use policy reserves the right to throttle or restrict sites with abnormally high throughput. In practice, sites pushing more than a few TB per month on the Basic or Pro tiers should expect a conversation with Sucuri's sales team. The lack of published per-GB rates is intentional: Sucuri positions itself as a security-first product where CDN is a feature, not the core deliverable.
Because Sucuri does not meter bandwidth publicly, the effective per-GB cost depends entirely on how much traffic your site generates. Here is the math for each plan at three traffic levels, assuming annual billing and treating the entire subscription as CDN spend (which overstates CDN cost, since WAF, monitoring, and malware cleanup are included):
| Monthly Traffic | Basic (~$16.67/mo) | Pro (~$25/mo) | Business (~$41.67/mo) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 500 GB | $0.033/GB | $0.050/GB | $0.083/GB |
| 5 TB | $0.003/GB | $0.005/GB | $0.008/GB |
| 50 TB | $0.0003/GB | $0.0005/GB | $0.0008/GB |
At low traffic volumes, Sucuri's effective CDN cost is expensive compared to standalone providers. At high volumes, the flat-fee model looks absurdly cheap on paper, but that assumes Sucuri actually allows sustained 50 TB/month delivery without intervention. Most operators report that Sucuri performs well for content-light CMS sites (WordPress, Joomla) but was never designed for media-heavy delivery workloads.
For an apples-to-apples view, here is how published per-GB pricing from major providers compares as of Q2 2026:
| Provider | Per-GB Rate (2026) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Cloudflare (Pro) | ~$0.05/GB (metered add-ons) | Free tier available; bandwidth unmetered on most plans but with image/video caveats |
| Akamai | $0.045–$0.08/GB | Volume commits required for lower tiers; enterprise contracts vary widely |
| Amazon CloudFront | $0.02–$0.085/GB | Region-dependent; first 1 TB free; Security Savings Bundle available |
| Fastly | $0.04–$0.12/GB | Usage-based; minimum $50/mo on paid plans |
| BlazingCDN | $0.004/GB (25 TB tier) | Down to $0.002/GB at 2 PB; $100/mo for up to 25 TB |
The takeaway is clear: if you need WAF, malware monitoring, and incident response bundled into a single vendor and your site serves under 1 TB/month, Sucuri's pricing is competitive. The moment delivery volume becomes a primary concern, standalone CDNs are 5-20x cheaper per GB.
Not every team optimizes for the same variable. This matrix maps common workload profiles to the provider category that minimizes total cost of ownership as of 2026:
| Workload Profile | Monthly Bandwidth | Security Posture | Best Fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| WordPress / CMS brochure site | < 500 GB | High (compliance, PCI) | Sucuri Business |
| E-commerce (Magento, Shopify Plus) | 1–10 TB | High | Cloudflare Pro/Biz + separate WAF |
| SaaS with heavy static assets | 10–100 TB | Medium | Standalone CDN (BlazingCDN, CloudFront) |
| Media / video streaming | 100 TB+ | Low–Medium | Standalone CDN at volume pricing |
| Multi-CDN with layered security | Any | High | Sucuri WAF at edge + cost-efficient CDN behind |
The last row is the pattern most teams miss. You can place Sucuri's firewall in front of your origin and route cacheable delivery through a cheaper CDN. This lets you pay Sucuri for what it does best (threat mitigation, virtual patching, bot management) while keeping bandwidth costs proportional to actual usage. DNS-level or header-based routing makes this straightforward.
For teams delivering 25 TB/month or more, the economics shift dramatically. At that volume, BlazingCDN's volume-based pricing starts at $100/month for up to 25 TB ($0.004/GB) and scales down to $0.002/GB at the 2 PB tier. The platform delivers stability and fault tolerance comparable to CloudFront, with flexible configuration and fast scaling under demand spikes, while running at a fraction of the cost. Clients like Sony rely on it for high-throughput delivery. For any workload where bandwidth spend is a meaningful line item, this kind of pricing difference compounds fast.
Sucuri does not publish a per-GB rate. CDN is bundled into platform plans starting at $199.99/year. The effective per-GB cost depends on your traffic volume: at 500 GB/month on the Basic plan, it works out to roughly $0.033/GB; at 5 TB/month, approximately $0.003/GB. These figures treat the entire subscription as CDN spend, which overstates the CDN-only portion since WAF and malware services are included.
No. As of 2026, Sucuri bills a flat monthly or annual fee per site, not per GB. Bandwidth is described as unlimited, though the acceptable-use policy allows throttling for sites with abnormally high throughput. Sites consistently pushing multi-TB volumes should confirm limits with Sucuri's sales team before committing.
Nominally, yes. In practice, Sucuri reserves the right to limit traffic that exceeds fair-use expectations. The service is optimized for CMS-based websites, not large-scale media delivery. If your workload requires sustained high-bandwidth delivery, a dedicated CDN provider will give you contractual guarantees that Sucuri's terms do not.
The Sucuri Firewall (WAF-only) plan starts at $9.99/month as of Q2 2026 and includes basic CDN caching. Full platform plans that add malware scanning, removal, and priority support range from $199.99 to $499.99/year. All tiers include CDN delivery through Sucuri's network.
Every Sucuri plan bundles: HTTP/2 delivery, Anycast-based edge caching, virtual patching, bot mitigation, continuous malware/uptime monitoring, and (on platform plans) malware removal and blocklist cleanup. The CDN component handles static asset caching and GZIP compression but does not offer the granular cache-control, custom VCL/edge compute, or multi-origin load balancing that dedicated CDN platforms provide.
Pull your last 90 days of bandwidth data from your analytics or origin logs. Calculate your actual monthly P95 delivery volume in GB. Multiply it against Sucuri's effective rate at your plan tier, then against two standalone CDN providers. If the delta exceeds your monthly WAF spend, you have a clear signal to decouple security and delivery. If it doesn't, Sucuri's bundle is doing its job. Either way, the math takes 20 minutes and replaces speculation with a procurement-ready comparison.
