Questions

What is the cheapest cloud egress rates, all categories in 2026?
Cloudflare CDN from Cloudflare tops this ranking at $0/GB. The full table below shows all 45 entries with the same measure applied to each.
How is this ranking calculated?
Every service in the dataset that publishes a per-gigabyte transfer-out rate, ranked across categories. Egress is where the spread between providers is widest — over 100x from top to bottom of this table. Every figure is the provider's own published list price, linked in the source column and stamped with the month it was checked.
Why is the cheapest option not always the right one?
Because a single axis never captures the whole bill. A provider with the lowest storage rate may have the highest egress rate; a model with the cheapest input tokens may be the most expensive for agentic work. The comparison pages model both sides against identical workloads, which is the check worth doing before switching.
