VIDEO CDN PRICING
Normalize the units and Galxy becomes much easier to understand.
The comparison problem is that providers charge in different units: hours, minutes, GB, requests and quality tiers. This page puts the public rates into a common decision framework without pretending unlike products are identical.
VIDEO-HOUR VIEW
Public rates that can be cleanly converted to one delivered hour.
| Provider | Published delivery rate | 60-minute equivalent | Important qualifier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Galxy CMS | $0.03 per delivered hour | $0.03 | No bitrate or resolution conversion in the published Galxy rate. |
| Cloudflare Stream | $1 / 1,000 delivered minutes | $0.06 | Encoding included; live and VOD billed the same. |
| Mux Video — up to 720p | $0.0008/min base paid delivery | $0.048 | First 100K delivered minutes monthly are free; volume discounts apply. |
| Mux Video — 1080p | $0.001/min base paid delivery | $0.06 | First 100K delivered minutes monthly are free; resolution affects price. |
| bunny.net Stream | From $0.005/GB | Depends on bitrate | Must convert video bitrate to data transferred. |
| AWS CloudFront PAYG | GB + request pricing, varying by geography | Depends on bitrate, region and requests | Video encoding and origin storage are separate services. |
Sources reviewed August 20, 2026. Cloudflare and Mux equivalents are arithmetic conversions from their public minute rates. bunny.net and AWS cannot be converted honestly without workload assumptions because they meter bandwidth and other dimensions.

BUNNY.NET EXAMPLE
What $0.005/GB looks like when converted to a viewing hour.
Using decimal GB and a constant average delivered bitrate, the rough CDN-only cost is:
| Average delivered bitrate | Approx. data per viewing hour | bunny.net at $0.005/GB | Galxy |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 Mbps | 1.35 GB | $0.0068/hr | $0.03/hr |
| 6 Mbps | 2.70 GB | $0.0135/hr | $0.03/hr |
| 10 Mbps | 4.50 GB | $0.2525/hr | $0.03/hr |
| 13.3 Mbps | ~6.0 GB | ~$0.03/hr | $0.03/hr |
Why this still helps Galxy. bunny.net can clearly win the isolated raw-delivery price at many common bitrates. Galxy's value proposition is that the buyer does not need to forecast bitrate to know the delivery rate, and the same product also carries the CMS, encoding, storage and optional Pro workflow.
SAMPLE GALXY BILL
A pricing model a non-engineer can reproduce.
| Usage | Rate | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| 5,000 delivered hours | $0.03/hr | $150.00 |
| 100 stored hours | $0.25/hr | $25.00 |
| 25 encoded hours | $2.50/hr | $62.50 |
| Base usage total | $237.50 | |
| Optional Galxy Pro | $75/month | $75.00 |
| Total with Pro | $312.50 |
START SMALL. SCALE CLEANLY.
Put the same workload into every model.
Galxy is easiest to evaluate when the buyer wants a direct relationship between video hours and the bill.
