bunny.net.The developer’s CDN.
The Slovenian platform formerly known as BunnyCDN: 119+ PoPs in 82 countries, 250+ Tbps of capacity, delivery from $0.01/GB with a volume network from half a cent, and, its most radical feature, every capability included on every plan with a $1 monthly minimum. Some 85,000 businesses later, the budget option keeps topping independent performance rankings.
bunny.net in seven bars.
Our advisory read, scored against the 25+ provider field we benchmark. Blue is where bunny.net leads; gray is where the trade-offs live.
Scores are CDN World’s advisory judgment, not a lab measurement.
The hop that ate the budget market.
Started in Ljubljana in 2015 by a developer priced out of the incumbents, bunny.net grew from eight PoPs into a 250+ Tbps platform serving 85,000+ businesses, including names like Hyundai and NexusMods, while keeping the founding thesis intact: transparent pricing, no contracts, no feature gates, no sales calls unless you want one.
The Standard network prices by region from $0.01/GB in North America and Europe across all 119+ PoPs; the Volume network trades breadth for a flat global rate from $0.005/GB, falling toward $0.002 at petabyte scale, built for video and big downloads.
Edge rules, image optimization hooks, DDoS protection, signed URLs, instant purge: nothing is gated behind a tier, and pull zones can be scoped to only the regions you actually serve, a granularity most rivals simply don’t offer.
Bunny Storage moves bytes to the CDN for free, Bunny Stream bundles the player and transcoding at no charge, Bunny Shield adds a WAF with a free tier, and the free DNS is scriptable, an unusually complete estate at this price point.
Independent rankings like CDNPerf repeatedly place it among the fastest networks measured, and Slovenian incorporation puts the whole platform under EU data-protection law, a quiet bonus for European buyers.
The platform, by line.
What bunny.net actually sells, in the names its console uses.
Pull-zone delivery across 119+ PoPs (Standard) or the flat-rate high-bandwidth Volume network; Perma-Cache persists objects at the edge for cache-hit ratios above 92% on long-tail content.
CoreUpload, transcode, protect and play video with the player and transcoding included free; you pay storage plus delivery at CDN rates, radically simple video economics.
CoreOn-the-fly WebP/AVIF conversion, resizing and quality control per site, a flat-fee add-on that often pays for itself in bandwidth.
Add-onHDD from $0.01/GB-month, SSD for hot content, geo-replication, and free internal transfer into the CDN, the anti-S3-egress play.
CoreDeno-based edge functions across all PoPs plus Docker containers deployed globally without code changes, useful, but the ceiling arrives faster than on Workers-class platforms.
MaturingA newer security layer: baseline WAF rules and DDoS protection free, with custom rules, smarter bot detection and rate limiting on paid tiers.
Included / Add-onAnycast authoritative DNS at no charge, with scriptable records, health checks and geo-routing, though we still advise a second independent provider for resilience.
IncludedWhere the network runs deep.
Our regional read of the 119+ PoP Standard footprint. Remember the Volume network is a separate, deliberately small set of high-bandwidth sites.
Regional depth is CDN World’s advisory read of published PoP maps and independent measurements, July 2026. No in-country mainland-China delivery: pair with CDNetworks for that audience.
How bunny.net is bought.
The most transparent rate card in the industry, which doesn’t make modeling optional.
Everything ships on every plan; usage is pay-as-you-go above a $1 minimum, and enterprise deals exist only when you want them.
Serve Europe only? Disable the expensive regions and pay the European rate, granularity most providers can’t or won’t offer.
Origins on Bunny Storage feed the CDN at zero internal cost, restructuring the bill for media libraries versus hyperscaler origins.
The famous $0.01 is the NA/EU figure; Asia-Pacific, South America and the Middle East price several times higher. Model your real mix.
Roughly ten high-bandwidth sites: superb $/GB for downloads and video, but a thinner latency map, know which network each zone should ride.
Custom SLAs, procurement processes and named support exist but are young; above serious scale, price the organizational risk alongside the savings.
bunny.net is not sold through our resale tiers, so our role here is pure advisory: we benchmark it against the 25+ provider field on your traffic profile, model the Standard-versus-Volume split honestly, and tell you where the budget champion genuinely wins.
The technical checklist.
The green lights and the amber ones, as we’d brief an engineering team.
Served at the edge alongside HTTP/2 with TCP fallback.
YesAutomatic issuance and renewal; custom certificates supported.
YesEdge compression with origin passthrough options.
YesPersistent edge cache lifting long-tail hit ratios above 92%.
YesHeader manipulation, rewrites, token auth, on every plan.
YesPath and wildcard purging propagates in seconds.
YesEverything scriptable; a favorite of CI-driven indie and SaaS estates.
YesLive stats plus log shipping into your own pipeline.
YesVolumetric protection included; Shield adds rules and rate limiting.
YesBaseline rules free; custom rules and bot smarts on paid tiers, newer than incumbent WAFs.
IncludedDeno scripting and Docker containers at the edge are real, but complex request-time logic hits the ceiling sooner than on Workers-class platforms.
MaturingCustom SLAs, security questionnaires and named TAMs are available but lightweight by incumbent standards.
LightDocs, humans, status.
Clean docs and one of the most pleasant dashboards in the industry; the third-party tutorial ecosystem is thinner than Cloudflare’s, plan for that at 2 a.m.
Ticket-based support with a strong responsiveness reputation among developers; formal SLA-backed support is where the enterprise gap shows.
Public status, public per-region price list, and independent CDNPerf rankings anyone can check, the whole pitch is verifiable.
Pull zone to production in minutes, WordPress and framework integrations everywhere, and a 14-day trial without a card.
Where it wins. Where it doesn’t.
The two-minute version we give clients before the numbers.
Self-serve, fully scriptable, honestly priced and genuinely fast, the default recommendation when engineering owns the CDN decision and traffic is under serious enterprise scale.
Video platforms, download portals and media libraries ride the Volume network toward half a cent per gigabyte, with free storage-to-CDN transfer stacking the savings.
Free player and transcoding with pay-per-byte economics makes small and mid-size video products viable that hyperscaler math would kill.
Where the buyer needs deep SLAs, professional services, compliance ceremony and a decade of references at massive scale, incumbents still hold the ground, priced accordingly.
If the app logic lives at the edge, Deno scripting and Magic Containers hit their ceiling well before Workers-class runtimes do.
No in-country delivery; a China-first audience means pairing with an in-country specialist.

bunny.net questions,
answered straight.
What’s the difference between the Standard and Volume networks?
Standard uses the full 119+ PoP map and prices by region, from $0.01/GB in North America and Europe, higher in Asia-Pacific, South America and the Middle East. Volume is a deliberately small set of roughly ten high-bandwidth sites at a flat global rate from $0.005/GB, dropping toward $0.002 at petabyte scale. Latency-sensitive traffic rides Standard; big files and video ride Volume.
Is bunny.net reliable enough for production at scale?
Some 85,000 businesses run on it, including recognizable names like Hyundai and NexusMods, the platform reported serving over 80 billion requests monthly in early 2026, and independent CDNPerf rankings consistently place it among the fastest networks. The honest caveat isn’t the network, it’s the lighter enterprise scaffolding around it.
What does it really cost?
Pay-as-you-go above a $1 monthly minimum. The trap to avoid is assuming the famous $0.01/GB applies globally, regional Standard rates climb severalfold outside NA/EU. The trick to use is region-scoping: disable regions you don’t serve and pay only for the map you use.
Does the EU base matter?
BunnyWay d.o.o. is incorporated in Slovenia, inside the EU, which places the platform under EU data-protection law. For European buyers with GDPR-sensitive workloads it simplifies the conversation, similar to the argument for Gcore, at an even lower price point.
Where’s the ceiling?
Three places: edge compute (Deno scripting and containers cover rewrites, auth and routing, not complex applications), enterprise process (young SLAs and services), and mainland China (none). If none of those three is your constraint, the savings are usually real.
