01.Evaluation guide

Who it suits

A media library that is large relative to the traffic it serves. Starter is $25 a month for 100 credits with up to 50 GB of media and 100 GB of delivery, and the per-credit price falls as bundles grow — $0.25 on Starter, $0.20 on Basic, $0.18 on Midrange.

Consider something else if…

You want to start free, or to know what a credit actually is. There is no free plan, only 30 days and 100 credits, and the page prices credits without ever defining one — it states the media and delivery ceilings attached to each bundle and leaves the unit itself undescribed.

Pricing modelCredits sold as currency, not as a resource equivalence. Starter prices them at $0.25 each falling to $0.21 annually, and each bundle also states a media and a delivery ceiling — 100 credits comes with up to 50 GB of media and up to 100 GB of delivery bandwidth. imgix moved to this from a model tied to origin images.
