Do these prices reflect current provider rates?

The built-in rates are based on publicly listed pricing as of mid-2025. Cloud providers change pricing periodically — always verify against the official pricing page before committing to a budget.

Why is Cloudflare so much cheaper?

Cloudflare does not charge egress fees on most plans. Data transfer between Cloudflare and end users is included in the plan price, making it a zero-egress CDN for the majority of use cases.

How does tiered pricing work?

Major cloud providers charge less per GB as volume increases. The first 10 TB/month costs more per GB than the next 40 TB/month. This calculator applies each tier incrementally so estimates reflect real billing.

What is not included in this estimate?

Origin pull fees, request charges, storage costs, intra-region transfer, and premium features (shield, WAF, DDoS protection) are not included. This calculator covers pure data transfer egress only.

Can I enter a custom provider rate?

Yes — use the Custom Rate row at the bottom of the results. Enter any flat per-GB price to instantly see the estimated monthly cost for that provider.
