How this is scored

Scored at 200 GB of monthly transfer. At this volume free tiers and monthly minimums dominate, so the ranking inverts against the streaming table — the cheapest per-gigabyte provider is often not the cheapest here at all.

Questions

Cheapest CDN for a small website in 2026?
AWS CloudFront from Amazon Web Services — $0/mo at 200 GB. Cloudflare CDN is second at $0/mo at 200 GB. This ranking is specific to the workload described above; a different usage shape reorders it.
How is this ranking weighted?
Scored at 200 GB of monthly transfer. At this volume free tiers and monthly minimums dominate, so the ranking inverts against the streaming table — the cheapest per-gigabyte provider is often not the cheapest here at all.
Why does this differ from the general cheapest list?
Because a single price axis never describes a real workload. Ranking by headline rate answers "who is cheapest per unit"; this page answers "who is cheapest for this job", and the two orders are often very different — which is the whole reason it exists as a separate table.
What is not accounted for?
Committed-use discounts, regional price variation, per-request charges, support plans, and minimum retention. These are published list prices applied to one stated workload — a shortlist to price properly with the vendor, not a quotation.
