## Which should you choose?

Pick Fastly if High-traffic sites where volume-discount tiers actually kick in, or teams that want CDN and edge compute (Fastly Compute) on the same platform.

Pick 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.

Consider something else: Fastly — Traffic is modest — the $1,500/month entry plan for dedicated network services is priced for scale a smaller site won't reach, where a pay-as-you-go CDN has no equivalent floor.

Consider something else: Bunny CDN — Traffic skews heavily to the Middle East or Africa — the regional rate there is six times the Europe/North America price.

## Documented by only one

- Entry paid plan: Fastly: Basic Network Services: $1,500/month, including 100M requests.
