FAQ
Edge vs Bunny.net, answered
Is Bunny cheaper than Edge?
Sometimes. For a site serving huge numbers of tiny files in Europe or North America, Bunny's $0.01/GB with no request fees can come out lower. As average file size or global reach grows, Edge's $0 egress wins.
Does Edge have an equivalent to Bunny Stream?
Edge delivers video over the CDN with range requests and zero egress. If you need a managed encoding and player product, Bunny Stream is more complete today.
Can I use Edge Storage as the origin?
Yes. Edge Storage is S3-compatible and has no egress fees, so the storage-to-CDN hop is free too.
