BlazingCDN vs bunny.net
bunny.net is the closest thing to us in this whole comparison, and the one competitor whose headline price is lower than ours. So read the small print with us, because it belongs to a different network than the one you are probably picturing.
Our rate is printed on the pricing page. You can check it before you talk to anyone.
Their Standard network is 119 points of presence at $0.01 per GB in Europe and North America. Their cheap number lives on the Volume network, which is 10 points of presence, and it only reaches $0.002 per GB between 1 and 2 petabytes.

Which one actually fits your traffic
We would rather lose the click than lose a month of your team’s time. Here is the honest split.
Pick BlazingCDN if
- You want one network rather than a choice between cheap and wide
- You serve Asia, the Middle East or Africa, where their Standard rate is three to six times the European one
- You want deeper controls: TTL per status code, signed links bound to an IP, two rotating secrets
- You want raw logs, Prometheus and OpenTelemetry on the account rather than as an add-on
- You want to run the CDN from an AI agent through a typed MCP server
Pick bunny.net if
- You are small: a $1 monthly minimum against our $25 is a real difference at the bottom
- You want video encoding and a player included, which Bunny Stream gives you and we do not
- You want DNS, storage, image optimisation and edge scripting from the same vendor
- You need 119 points of presence and are willing to pay their Standard rate for it
- You need WebSockets, which we do not support at all, by design
Side by side
Pricing model
Per terabyte delivered
Per GB, and which rate you get depends on which of their two networks you pick
Published price
Yes. $5 down to $2.50 per TB in progressive tiers, the full table printed on the pricing page
Yes, fully published for both networks. Credit to them: nobody else in this series does that
Regional pricing
One rate across our regions
Four regions on Standard. Middle East and Africa cost six times Europe
Heavy video and large files
What the network is built and priced for
Delivered on the same rate card. Bunny Stream adds encoding and a player, billed separately
Time to a number
Same day, by email
Published. Both of us pass this one
The cheap number belongs to the small network
This is not a gotcha, it is on their own pricing page, clearly labelled. It is just easy to quote the one number and forget which product it belongs to.
“Standard network, 119 PoPs: Europe & North America $0.01/GB · Asia & Oceania $0.03/GB · South America $0.045/GB · Middle East & Africa $0.06/GB”
“Volume network, 10 PoPs: first 500 TB $0.005/GB · 500 TB to 1 PB $0.004/GB · 1 PB to 2 PB $0.002/GB”

What it means in practice
The famous $2 per terabyte is the third tier of the Volume network, so it applies to traffic between 1 and 2 petabytes, delivered from ten points of presence. Below a petabyte the Volume rate is $5 or $4 a terabyte. And their wide network, the 119-PoP one, is $10 a terabyte in Europe and up to $60 in the Middle East and Africa.
What ours does instead
One network, one rate card, one set of regions. $5 a terabyte stepping down to $2.50, the same everywhere we deliver, with no choice to make between price and coverage. See the full tier table and Anycast CDN.
Tell us your monthly terabytes. We send back the number.
No account needed to get a price. One email, one answer.
Speed tests look similar on both networks. The invoice does not. Here is the same traffic, priced two ways.
200 TB a month here, one network, one rate, billed across progressive tiers from $5 down to $2.50.
The same 200 TB on their Standard 119-PoP network in Europe or North America. On the 10-PoP Volume network it is $1,000, still more than ours. In Asia their Standard rate makes it $6,000, and in the Middle East or Africa $12,000.
Run your own volume through it
50 TB a month
$4.30 a terabyte effective. bunny.net Standard is $500 in Europe, Volume $250. We are cheaper on both.
200 TB a month
Where most video and software teams sit. $3.83 a terabyte effective. Standard $2,000, Volume $1,000. Still cheaper on both, and on one network rather than two.
1 PB a month
1,000 TB billed down through the tiers, $3.32 a terabyte effective. Standard $10,000, Volume $4,500. Their $2 per TB tier only begins above this point.
Our pricing is progressive, like tax brackets: $5 on the first 5 TB, stepping down to $2.50 above 1,000 TB. bunny.net figures are their published Standard and Volume rates, checked 29 August 2026. Above 2 PB on the Volume network they ask you to contact sales, and above 1,500 TB our published table ends too, so at that size both of us are talking.
The three questions everyone asks next
Their $2 per TB beats you though
It does, between 1 and 2 petabytes, on their 10-point Volume network. Below a petabyte we are cheaper than both of their networks, and at 200 TB we are $765 against their $1,000 on Volume and $2,000 on Standard. If you genuinely deliver more than a petabyte a month, talk to both of us, and compare coverage as carefully as rate.
Do I have to move everything?
No. Keep Bunny Stream, their storage or their DNS if you use them. Running two delivery layers side by side is normal, and the pull zone takes an afternoon.
What is actually different in the panel?
Six things, and they are all in the table above: TTL per status code, zstd with a separate cache per encoding, signed links bound to between one and five client IPs with two rotating secrets, rsync and rclone as origin types, Prometheus and OpenTelemetry on every account, and cache warm-up through the API before a release.
Keep it. Move the heavy traffic to us.
You do not have to pick a winner. Keep Bunny Stream or their storage if you use them, and put the raw delivery where the controls and the rate suit you.
- One pull zone, pointed at the origin you already use
- From $5 down to $2.50 per TB, published, no negotiation to see it
- Roll back by changing one CNAME if you do not like the result
Get your rate
Four fields. We reply with a written price for your volume, usually the same day.
We use this only to price your traffic and reply to you.
Splitting the traffic takes an afternoon
Create a pull zone
Point it at the same origin your pull zone already uses. Nothing changes on your side.
Move the heavy paths
Video segments, installers, patches, archives. The paths that generate the terabytes on your invoice.
Compare one invoice
One billing cycle is enough to see the difference. If it is not better, change the CNAME back.
What you pay before delivery is counted
Both of us sell a rate. The difference is how many rates there are.
Where you start
$5 per TB delivered, one network, with a $25 monthly minimum
$1 monthly minimum, which is genuinely better than ours for a small project
Mid tier
The same tier table. Your rate steps down as volume grows, with nothing to re-sign
Standard network at $0.01 per GB in Europe and North America, which is $10 a terabyte
The tier that carries heavy traffic
$2.50 per TB on the top tier, and no platform fee at any volume
Volume network: $5 a TB to 500 TB, $4 to 1 PB, then $2 between 1 and 2 PB, on 10 points of presence
Commitment
None. Monthly, stop whenever you like
None. Pay as you go, same as ours
What gets billed
Delivered traffic only. Cache volume is never billed
Delivered traffic, per region on Standard. Perma-Cache storage is billed separately
bunny.net figures are their published Standard and Volume network rates, checked 29 August 2026. They publish everything, including which network each price belongs to, and this page would be dishonest if it quoted the $2 tier without the 10-PoP network attached to it.
CDN feature by feature
Static files, downloads, images and APIs. Everything on our side is taken from our product documentation, and we have left in the rows where they are ahead.
Routing
Anycast with built in failover. 50+ signals weighed per request, routes re-evaluated in real time
119 points of presence on Standard, 10 on Volume. The wide network is genuinely wider than ours
Cache control
TTL up to 365 days, a separate TTL per HTTP status code, minimum requests to cache from 1 to 10, inherit or ignore origin headers
Configurable cache duration, query string handling and vary headers. Per-status-code TTL is not documented
Per-path rules
Locations: a rule set matched to an HTTP route, so different parts of one resource get different delivery settings. Extension proxying, URL parameter truncation, HLS and DASH handling and image processing, all per path
Edge Rules for headers, rewrites and redirects, plus Edge Scripting for code at the edge
Purge
By path, in bulk, or total purge in one action. Plus cache warm-up through the API before a release
Purge by URL, by tag and whole zone, through the panel or API
Origin Shield
Included. Automatic, or pinned to a region you choose
Origin Shield to consolidate origin requests, plus Perma-Cache as separately billed permanent storage
Compression
gzip, Brotli and zstd. At the edge or at origin, with a separate cache per encoding
gzip and Brotli
Delivery speed control
A download speed cap you set per account, per domain or per URL, plus rate matched delivery so one big file does not take the whole pipe. Request intensity limits per client or subnet on top of that
Speed limits are available as part of their advanced token authentication
Signed URLs
Validity window, signature bound to a client IP, a limit of 1 to 5 unique IPs per link, two secrets for rotation, partial path signing and URL encryption
Token authentication with expiry, IP validation, geo restrictions and directory tokens. Documented against a single signing key
Country and IP lists
Country allowlist or blocklist, IP allowlist or blocklist with mask support, referrer allow and deny lists and cookie checks. Set per resource, with no security plan to buy
Country and IP blocking on the pull zone, plus geo rules in token authentication
Security stack
Their round
Country and IP allow or block lists with mask support, referrer rules, cookie checks, rate limiting with a burst allowance
Bunny Shield for WAF and DDoS, sold separately. Neither of us is a security company, but they sell more of it than we do
Certificates
Let’s Encrypt at no extra charge, renewed automatically. Upload your own, in bulk, auto-assigned to matching domains
Free SSL on custom hostnames, or bring your own certificate
Origins and import
HTTP(S), S3, Swift, Wasabi and S3 compatible buckets, FTP, SFTP, rclone and rsync. Pull or push, pre-import or lazy, with a callback on the result
Any HTTP origin, or Bunny Storage. FTP and API upload into their storage
Image processing
One file at origin, every variant from a query string on your own domain. Variants are cached like any other file and cost nothing extra
Bunny Optimizer, a separately billed add-on
Logs and metrics
One MCP server, 52 typed tools: pull zones, cache and purge, metrics, domains and certificates, Cloud Storage and Video CDN. Read-only by default, with cache purge and warm-up; create and update are opt-in; deletes are a second opt-in limited to custom domains and Video CDN resources, and deleting pull zones, buckets or accounts is not implemented at all. Public on npm as @blazingcdn/mcp
Logging and analytics in the panel, with log forwarding available
Running it from an agent
One MCP server, 52 typed tools: pull zones, cache and purge, metrics, domains and certificates, Cloud Storage and Video CDN. Read-only by default, with cache purge and warm-up; create and update are opt-in; deletes are a second opt-in limited to custom domains and Video CDN resources, and deleting pull zones, buckets or accounts is not implemented at all. Public on npm as @blazingcdn/mcp
Full API and a Terraform provider. No MCP server that configures the CDN as a typed toolset
Our column is taken from our own published feature list. The bunny.net column describes their publicly documented product and published rates, checked 29 August 2026. Where their documentation does not state a capability we have written that it is not documented, rather than that it is absent.
On video, they do more than we do
Worth saying plainly before the table. Bunny Stream encodes, stores and plays video; our Video CDN delivers what your encoder already produced. If you want video handled end to end, that is a product they have and we do not, at any price. If you already run an encoder, you are paying for one twice.
BlazingCDN Video CDN
A delivery layer. Your encoder or media server produces HLS or DASH, we cache and deliver it worldwide and bill per terabyte. Red5 Pro and Ant Media are documented pairings.
Bunny Stream
A video platform. Encoding, storage, a player and delivery, sold as its own product alongside the CDN.
Six places where we win
Not opinions. Each of these is a line item you can check on an invoice or in a config screen.
One network, not two
You never have to choose between the cheap network and the wide one. Our rate is the same on every point of presence we run, and it steps down with volume rather than with coverage.
TTL per status code
Cache a 200 for a year and a 404 for a minute, from the same panel. TTL up to 365 days, a separate value per HTTP status code, a 60 second default on errors, and a minimum request count from 1 to 10 before an object is cached at all.
Three compressors, cached apart
gzip, Brotli and zstd, compressed at the edge or at origin, with a separate cache entry per encoding so a Brotli client never gets handed a gzip object. Pull cache volume is never billed either.
Signed links with rotation
A signature can be tied to a client IP with a limit of 1 to 5 addresses, signed on part of the path rather than all of it, with the URL encrypted and two secrets you can rotate so a key change does not break every live link at once.
Origins nobody else takes
S3, Swift, Wasabi and any S3 compatible bucket, plus FTP, SFTP, rclone and an rsync daemon. Pull or push, pre-import or lazy, with auto-import scanning and a callback URL when it finishes.
Observability without an add-on
A Prometheus endpoint, Grafana, Alertmanager and OpenTelemetry on every account with nothing to enable, raw JSON logs for Graylog or ELK as a $50 a month add-on. Plus cache warm-up through the API so a release goes out warm.
And four places where they win
If any of these four is the reason you are shopping, buy bunny.net. They are a good company and this is the closest comparison in the whole series.
- 119 points of presence on their Standard network. Wider than ours, and if coverage is the deciding factor they win it.
- A $1 monthly minimum against our $25. For a small project that is the whole decision.
- Bunny Stream: encoding, storage and a player. We deliver packaged video and do not encode anything.
- WebSockets, Edge Scripting, DNS, storage and image optimisation from one vendor. We support HTTP and HTTPS delivery only, by design.
