Questions

What is the best alternative to AWS CloudFront in 2026?
On egress per GB, Bunny CDN is the cheapest alternative — roughly 8.5× cheaper than AWS CloudFront. Cheapest is not automatically best: check the free tier, the region list, and what each one does not charge for before switching.
How many alternatives to AWS CloudFront are there?
10 in this dataset, all CDN providers with published list prices. The table ranks every one of them on egress per GB with AWS CloudFront highlighted in place, so you can see exactly where it sits rather than taking a "top 5" on trust.
Is switching from AWS CloudFront worth it?
It depends on which axis dominates your bill. Content delivery networks cache your files in points of presence near your users. Almost the entire bill is data transfer out, so the per-gigabyte egress rate — which varies by more than 100x across this category — decides what you pay. Run your own volumes through the comparison pages linked below before migrating — a provider that is cheaper per unit can still be more expensive for your particular usage shape.
Are there free alternatives to AWS CloudFront?
6 of them publish a free tier — they are marked in the table. Check whether each is permanent or a 12-month trial; the two look identical on a pricing page and are very different a year in.
