CDN comparison

Cloudflare vs Bunny CDN

Pick Cloudflare when you want a CDN plus WAF, DDoS, and a security edge without metering every gigabyte. Pick Bunny CDN when the job is simple per-GB delivery or low-volume video, and you do not need a full security stack.

They overlap on caching. They do not overlap on what you are buying.

When to use each

Use Cloudflare if the site or app needs delivery and protection on the same edge. WAF and unmetered DDoS are available with Cloudflare Enterprise through Vigilbase. Workers give you full edge compute. DNS is included. The commercial path is Cloudflare Enterprise licensing and Managed Cloudflare operations, scoped to your requirements. You are not building a spreadsheet of GB by region to forecast the month.

Use Bunny CDN if traffic is low and predictable, you want pay-per-GB simplicity, or the main job is Bunny Stream for a small video library. Bunny Standard Network publishes 119 PoPs, with strong European coverage. Pricing on the current Standard Network page is $0.01/GB Europe/NA through $0.06/GB Middle East/Africa, and has a $1/month minimum after a 14-day trial. Storage and video can be extra. DDoS and WAF are basic. There is no Zero Trust platform.

Agencies running many client sites, and stores that spike in a sale, usually want a commercial path that does not punish traffic. A creator with a small catalog and a tight bandwidth budget may prefer Bunny's meter.

How they differ

Cloudflare publishes 330+ cities in 100+ countries. Bunny Standard Network publishes 119 PoPs. Cloudflare is an anycast security and delivery platform. Bunny is a CDN with an integrated video product.

Cloudflare Stream exists. Bunny Stream is often the reason someone is on Bunny in the first place. If video hosting is the product and security is not, Bunny is a coherent buy. If the site has to survive bots, credential stuffing, and a DDoS without a surprise invoice, that is Cloudflare.

How Vigilbase fits

Vigilbase runs Cloudflare on the Vigilbase Platform, the agentic cybersecurity operating system. Its native Cloudflare integration lets agents watch the edge, remediate in scope, and verify the close. Humans set the authority and take what is out of scope. We can scope Cloudflare Enterprise, deploy it, and run WAF, DNS, and incidents after go-live.

We will not talk you off Bunny if the honest job is per-GB video. We will tell you when the job has become an operated security edge.

Frequently asked questions

Is Bunny CDN cheaper than Cloudflare?

Compare current quotes using your traffic regions, monthly volume, peaks, and required security controls. Delivery pricing alone does not cover every operating need. Vigilbase scopes Cloudflare Enterprise licensing and managed operations together, including agreed bandwidth and support. Include logs, security services, migration, and ongoing ownership before deciding which offer costs less for your workload.Cloudflare Enterprise licensing explainedCompare Core, Priority and Critical

Which CDN has the larger network?

Network counts change and are not a performance result. Compare the providers using your audience locations, origin behavior, cache hit rate, and dynamic routes. Measure representative traffic before migrating and include reliability and support requirements. This comparison does not establish that either CDN will be faster for every application.Cloudflare Enterprise with VigilbaseWhat to check before buying Cloudflare

Does Bunny CDN have the same security features as Cloudflare?

The products and packages differ. Compare the specific WAF, bot, API, DDoS, logging, and access controls in each proposal rather than assuming that CDN delivery includes the same protection. The Cloudflare Enterprise agreement defines the available controls; Managed Cloudflare defines who operates the supported controls and within which authority.Application and API protectionHow a web application firewall works

Can I use either for video streaming?

Both offer video delivery products. Confirm whether you need storage, encoding, live streaming, signed playback, analytics, or only delivery of existing video files. Compare those requirements and their billing separately from website CDN traffic. Agree any video-specific implementation and operating work explicitly before including it in a Vigilbase engagement.Cloudflare Enterprise with VigilbaseWhat to check before buying Cloudflare

Which is better for WordPress?

Either can support a WordPress delivery architecture. The right setup depends on cache rules, logged-in sessions, checkout behavior, media, and security requirements. Test pages that must never be cached and confirm who handles updates and origin security. A CDN or WAF does not replace WordPress maintenance, backups, or cleanup of an already compromised site.A practical website protection guideHow we run Cloudflare after go-live
