Egress pricing is free for certain content. It's not free for all content. If i'm a fast food joint and offer free meals to veterans, I can do that, even if some customers complain that i'm not running a soup kitchen where everyone eats free. Cloudflare can offer free bandwidth to a whole host of sites and still have "a competitive CDN offering" without giving away free video hosting, arguably one of the most expensive use-cases to support. |

But what, again, is the pricing of cloudflare's "competitive CDN offering"? That seriously all I am asking for.
If you are going to go on about pricing (cloudflare does) have the courtesy to list yours publicly and don't have gag orders in your agreements.
The context of all of this is Amazon supposedly obfuscating their pricing to waste budgets. With cloudflare, you can't even FIND their pricing and will need to talk with a salesperson.
Anyways, for those stumbling around with this, minimum I've heard cloudflare doing is $24K per year on their paid stuff, and then they added Argo at around 10 cents per GB in the pay as you go offerings. Cloudfront is 2 to 9 cents per GB, google 2 to 10, fastly is around 8 to 12 cents, keycdn 4 cents etc. Not claiming AWS or Google are the cheapest, but pricing is pretty darn upfront.
Also have heard of folks getting busted by cloudflare if too many folks in asia/non-USA use the service, this seems far fetched, but AWS does charge differently by geo area so not sure if cloudflare has some rules like that tucked away.
