CDN · $35/mo
AWS Lightsail CDN at $35/mo for 500 GB is reasonably priced for a managed CDN, but the hidden overage costs ($0.09-$0.132/GB) and Windows premium (70-90% markup) are significant gotchas. A few alternatives offer better value if your traffic patterns or use case differ, though most listed options are not direct CDN replacements.
Flat $10/mo CDN rate with bandwidth billed separately; much cheaper entry point if you stay under ~500 GB/mo, and no region-based overage variance like AWS.
Caveat: Bandwidth overage rates vary by data center location, so total cost depends on your traffic volume and destination regions.
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fly.io | Private Networking / Egress · North America / Europe - private cross-region | $0.01/mo | WireGuard (6PN) private cross-region transfer, per GB, North America and Europe. Within-region private transfer is free. | Visit |
| Oracle Cloud Infrastructure | Outbound Data Transfer · Prior policy: overage to internet | $0.01/mo | Legacy per-GB overage rate beyond the 10TB free allowance, prior to the stated 2026 free-egress policy change | Visit |
| Fly.io |
Includes 200 GB transfer and load-balancing for $6.94/mo; if you need both CDN-like distribution and load balancing, this is a fraction of Lightsail's cost.
Caveat: Not a pure CDN product; designed for load balancing rather than edge caching, and IPv4 addresses are billed separately.
Flat $10/mo load balancer with outbound transfer billed at $0.015/GB after pooled allowance; predictable overage pricing and no regional variance.
Caveat: Also not a pure CDN; better suited for origin load balancing than edge distribution, and you must track your pooled allowance separately.
