Fastly Alternatives

Most popular Fastly alternative. Teams switch for free tier, simpler pricing, and all-in-one platform. Gain: generous free tier, flat-rate pricing, integrated security suite. Trade-off: less instant purge (seconds vs ms), less VCL flexibility.

Teams already on AWS switch for cost savings and integration. Gain: lower data transfer costs within AWS, native AWS integration, no minimum spend. Trade-off: slower purge, AWS complexity, less developer-focused.

Enterprises switch to Akamai for global scale and comprehensive security. Gain: largest edge network, enterprise security suite, proven reliability. Trade-off: complex pricing, enterprise focus, less developer-friendly.

Cost-conscious teams switch for transparent pricing. Gain: simple per-GB pricing ($0.01-0.06/GB), no minimums, good performance. Trade-off: fewer features, smaller network, less enterprise support.

Small-medium sites switch for affordable pricing. Gain: pay-as-you-go from $0.04/GB, no minimums, simple setup. Trade-off: fewer POPs, less edge compute, basic feature set.
