Google, Azure and AWS continue to grow the cloud feature set, which is described above as “Products”. While the vast selection of features is good for users, the complexity of picking the right combination of services for a given application is growing exponentially. At the present time, Google has 7 core products and 37 services under those products, Azure has 12 products and 61 services, and AWS has 12 products and 67 services. For enterprises using Multi-Cloud providers, understanding what each service does, how much it cost, and how to set it up is a job for a team of analyst. Its amazing how the trio developed a pricing model for every single service, even though its as mundane as an API call.

CDN Pricing Comparison- USA (High to Low)
- CDN77.com: $.049/GB – $.035/GB
- KeyCDN: $.04/GB – $.01/GB
- Google CDN: $.08/GB – $.02/GB

CDN77 and KeyCDN provide some of the lowest pricing in the industry for CDN services. Their prices range from $.04/GB for 1TB to as low as $.01 for a few PB’s per month of data transfer. Google is the newcomer to the mix, matching Amazon CloudFront prices. The difference between CDN77 + KeyCDN and Google CDN + CloudFront is the last two also charge a transaction fee, which is small unless companies are pushing vast amount of traffic daily. Expect Google and Amazon to drop prices to KeyCDN level in due time.
