KeyCDN review

KeyCDN lists transfer at $0.04 per GB. That is one published rate rather than a stepped set of tiers, so budgeting comes down to an estimate of monthly volume. In this comparison the brand ranks 10 of 25 on price per GB, which places it in the cheaper part of the field.

A free tier is not offered, and no free allowance comes with the service, so trial traffic is billed at the same rate as production traffic. That suits teams that already know their monthly volume and can budget from the first transfer. Anyone hoping to measure delivery quality on a free allowance would need a different provider.

The network spans 50 points of presence, well short of the largest networks compared here. In this comparison it ranks 26 of 30 for reach. That covers regional audiences and light global traffic, though it will not put a node in every major city.

KeyCDN is run by proinity LLC, with its headquarters in Switzerland. The service has been trading since 2012, so the network belongs to an established operator rather than a recent launch. Buyers placing larger contracts should confirm billing and invoicing terms with the entity named here.

Support runs through help centre, which puts self-service documentation at the centre of the experience. Live chat, email and phone are not part of the listed channels, so an incident response leans on the help centre. Teams that expect a named contact during an outage should weigh that before signing up.

The web application firewall answer is no, so application filtering is not covered by the per-GB rate. Teams expecting edge protection in the base price will need to source it elsewhere. The published rate covers content delivery and transfer, which is a narrower scope than a full security edge.

KeyCDN charges $0.04 per GB, against $0.02 to $0.20 per GB for Google Cloud. UCloud runs 500 points of presence to KeyCDN's 50, and SberCloud offers a free tier that KeyCDN does not. The trade is reach against rate, with per-GB cost favouring KeyCDN.
