How we compiled this
Published self-serve pricing was collected from each provider's own pricing page on the accessed date (2026-06-13); CDN is billed either as a flat monthly plan or as usage-based bandwidth, so monthlyUsd holds the flat plan price where one exists and otherwise the published monthly minimum (or null when there is none), with the per-GB/per-TB rates and any volume tiers recorded in notes. Quote-only/Enterprise tiers are recorded with monthlyUsd null; HIPAA/BAA and minutes/calls/overage fields do not apply to CDN bandwidth and are null for every tier. Every figure is sourced to the fetched pricing page.
Last verified 2026-06-15. We re-check published prices and compliance on a recurring cadence and update this page when they change.
