The short answer

Choose Amazon CloudFront if…

Teams already on AWS that want CDN bundled with other AWS services under one flat monthly price rather than itemized per-GB billing.

Editorial · Palash Bagchi · approved

Choose Bunny CDN if…

Cost-sensitive sites serving mostly Europe/North America traffic — $0.01/GB with no request fees and a $1 monthly floor is close to the cheapest entry point in this category.

Editorial · Palash Bagchi · approved

Consider something else if…

  • Amazon CloudFront: Traffic profile is unusual or very high volume — the flat-rate plans bundle a fixed allowance, and a metered pay-as-you-go CDN may price better outside that shape.
  • Bunny CDN: Traffic skews heavily to the Middle East or Africa — the regional rate there is six times the Europe/North America price.
