StackPath CDN Alternatives Now That It Has Shut Down

StackPath CDN no longer exists. In August 2023 StackPath decided to stop its CDN business, and Akamai announced it was buying about 100 enterprise customer contracts, without StackPath's staff or technology, in an Akamai press release dated August 24, 2023. StackPath ceased CDN operations on November 22, 2023.

The rest followed in 2024. StackPath emailed customers that it would close all products, including edge compute, and liquidate its assets for the benefit of creditors, as reported by Data Center Dynamics. The stackpath.com site no longer offers any service. If you only used StackPath to host open source library files, a free public CDN is enough, and our jsDelivr alternatives page covers those.

The picks below are for sites that need a CDN for their own content, ordered from closest to StackPath's self-serve model to full enterprise contracts.

Prices below are as of November 6, 2026. Our method is on How we review tools.

Quick comparison

Bunny.net

Bunny is the closest thing to StackPath's old self-serve deal: sign up with a card, create a pull zone, pay for what you use. The Standard network has 119 PoPs and charges $0.01 per GB in Europe and North America, $0.03 in Asia and Oceania, $0.045 in South America and $0.06 in the Middle East and Africa.

Heavy users can switch to the Volume network at $0.005 per GB for the first 500 TB, falling to $0.002 between 1 and 2 PB. The Bunny CDN pricing page lists no request fees, a $1 monthly minimum and a 14-day trial.

Best for: Small and mid-sized sites that want predictable, very low per-GB bills.

Pricing:

• Standard: $0.01 to $0.06 per GB by region
• Volume: $0.005 per GB for the first 500 TB
• $1 monthly minimum, 14-day free trial

Watch out for:

• The cheap Volume tier runs on only 10 PoPs, so users far from them will see slower first bytes than on the 119-PoP Standard network.
• There is no permanent free plan, only the 14-day trial.

Official site: Bunny.net.

Cloudflare

Cloudflare works differently from a pull-zone CDN: you usually point your domain's nameservers at it, and it proxies the whole site rather than one CDN hostname. In return the Free plan gives you caching, DNS and a basic WAF for $0.

Pro costs $20 a month billed yearly or $25 billed monthly, and Business is $200 a month yearly or $250 monthly. Enterprise is priced by quote. Pro and above add the Cloudflare Managed Ruleset and the OWASP Core Ruleset.

Best for: Most small business sites, especially those that also want DNS and a WAF in one place.

Pricing:

• Free: $0
• Pro: $20/month billed yearly, $25 billed monthly
• Business: $200/month billed yearly, $250 billed monthly
• Enterprise: custom quote

Watch out for:

• One network means one failure domain. A bad Bot Management config file took down core traffic from 11:20 to 17:06 UTC on November 18, 2025, per Cloudflare's outage report.
• The Free plan only gets the Free Managed Ruleset, so serious WAF coverage starts at Pro.

Official site: Cloudflare.

Amazon CloudFront

CloudFront now offers flat monthly plans as well as pay-as-you-go, which makes billing far easier to predict than it used to be. The Free plan covers 1 million requests and 100 GB a month. Pro is $15 with 10 million requests and 50 TB, Business is $200 with 125 million requests, and Premium is $1,000 with 500 million.

Each plan bundles S3 storage and AWS WAF rules, and the CloudFront pricing page says plans carry no overage charges. Blocked DDoS traffic and requests stopped by AWS WAF do not count against the allowance.

Best for: Teams already on AWS that want a fixed CDN bill tied to S3 origins.

Pricing:

• Free: $0, 1M requests, 100 GB
• Pro: $15/month, 10M requests, 50 TB
• Business: $200/month, 125M requests, 50 TB
• Premium: $1,000/month, 500M requests, 50 TB
• Pay-as-you-go also available

Watch out for:

• Plans are priced per distribution, so ten sites on ten distributions means ten plan fees.

Official site: Amazon CloudFront.

Gcore

Gcore gives away 1 TB of CDN traffic every month with no credit card, which covers many small sites outright. Past that, pricing is pay-as-you-go: €0.01 per GB from 1 TB to 500 TB, €0.008 up to 1 PB, €0.0065 up to 2 PB and €0.005 beyond, with discounts applied automatically.

The Gcore CDN page lists 210 or more edge PoPs. Gcore is also listed among jsDelivr's sponsors.

Best for: Sites under 1 TB a month that want a real CDN at no cost.

Pricing:

• Free: 1 TB per month
• €0.01 per GB from 1 TB to 500 TB, down to €0.005 above 2 PB
• Prices exclude VAT

Watch out for:

• Prices are in euros and exclude VAT, and the same page also mentions per-region pricing, so confirm the rate for the regions you serve before you commit.

Official site: Gcore.

KeyCDN

KeyCDN keeps billing simple: per-GB rates by region and no charge for HTTP or HTTPS requests. North America and Europe cost $0.04 per GB for the first 10 TB, falling to $0.01 above 100 TB. Asia and Oceania start at $0.08, and Africa and Latin America at $0.10.

The first three zones are free and each extra zone is $1 a month. TLS certificates, pull zone storage and 24/7 support carry no extra charge, and image processing costs $0.40 per 1,000 operations.

Best for: Small teams who want a classic pull-zone CDN with no request fees.

Pricing:

• $0.04 per GB (North America, Europe) for the first 10 TB
• $4 monthly minimum usage charge
• $49 minimum payment

Watch out for:

• You pay up front. The KeyCDN pricing page sets a $49 minimum payment, and at $0.04 per GB its entry rate is four times Bunny's Standard rate in the same regions.

Official site: KeyCDN.

Fastly

Fastly suits teams that want programmable control at the edge. Its Compute platform runs your code at the edge, and its free allowance each month includes 100 GB of bandwidth, 1 million delivery requests and 10 million Compute requests.

After that, delivery costs $0.12 per GB in North America and Europe up to 10 TB, then $0.08 for the next 10 TB, plus $0.01 per 10,000 requests. Fixed packages start with Network Services Basic at $1,500 a month for 100 million requests.

Best for: Engineering-led teams that need programmable caching and fast purges.

Pricing:

• Free: 100 GB and 1M requests per month
• $0.12 per GB (North America, Europe) up to 10 TB
• $0.01 per 10,000 requests
• Packages from $1,500/month

Watch out for:

• Small sites pay more here. The Fastly pricing page puts North American bandwidth at $0.12 per GB, twelve times Bunny's Standard rate, and extra TLS domains beyond five cost $20 each.

Official site: Fastly.

Akamai

Akamai is where about 100 of StackPath's enterprise customers went. It took on about 100 enterprise contracts in 2023, expected to add roughly $20 million in revenue for 2024, and ran a 90-day transition services agreement with StackPath to move them.

Its delivery products include Ion for web performance, Download Delivery and Adaptive Media Delivery for video. The Akamai CDN page offers contact-sales pricing and free trials, but no published rates.

Best for: Large media, download or commerce sites that need a negotiated contract and SLAs.

Pricing:

• No public price for CDN products
• Contact sales for quotes and trials

Watch out for:

• There is no self-serve CDN plan. Akamai prices its CDN by quote.

Official site: Akamai.

How to choose

If your site still points to StackPath

There is nothing left to stay on. The CDN stopped on November 22, 2023, and StackPath said in 2024 that it was decommissioning all services and urged customers to copy their data off. Check your DNS, script tags and build configs for any StackPath hostname and swap it for one of the services above. Object storage that StackPath resold came from Wasabi, which offered to move those accounts to direct billing, per the closure report.
