    What they offer

    • CDN / web acceleration

      Cache and accelerate websites and downloads across a global PoP network.

    • Live streaming

      Low-latency live video delivery with playback analytics.

    • Video on demand

      Hosted VOD with transcoding and HLS/DASH packaging.

    • Transcoding

      On-the-fly video transcoding for multi-device playback.

    What it replaces

    Where the fit is imperfect, we say so. A substitution that quietly drops a capability you depend on isn’t a saving.

    • CDN

      Cloudflare

      Same job — caching and accelerating web content. Cloudflare's network is far larger and bundles security products; 5centsCDN is a smaller, usage-priced alternative without the platform lock-in.

      All Canadian alternatives to CDN

    • CDN

      Fastly

    • CloudFront

      Amazon Web Services

      Same job — content delivery at the edge. CloudFront integrates with the AWS billing and IAM universe; 5centsCDN is standalone and simpler to price.
