What 1 TB of Video Traffic Costs in 2026: Bunny vs Fastly vs B2

Video is the workload that makes bandwidth pricing legible, because a terabyte of video is a terabyte of egress and nothing else. On the published rates captured on 2026-10-25, that terabyte costs $10.24 on Bunny.net from Europe or North America, $110.88 on Fastly, and $6.95 on Backblaze B2 if the same terabyte is stored there — a tenfold spread for the same bytes (calculated 2026-10-25). The interesting part is not the spread but the free allowances, which reorder the ranking depending on how much you store.

What 1 TB of video costs on each

Where the free allowances change the answer

Fastly's 100 GB free is worth $12.00 off a European bill, which is real money at 200 GB and immaterial at 1 TB. It is also per region per month, so a video that only ships in North America gets the full credit there.

Backblaze's allowance is the one that changes the ranking. Egress is free up to three times your average monthly stored data, so storing 1 TB covers a 1 TB serving month completely and the bill is storage alone at $6.95. Store only 100 GB and the allowance falls to 300 GB, leaving 724 GB billable at $0.01 per GB — $7.24 of egress on top of about $0.68 of storage, or $7.92 (calculated 2026-10-25). Storing more is cheaper per served terabyte on B2, which is the opposite of how CDNs price.

Bunny has no egress allowance to change; its $1 minimum is consumed by the first 100 GB and never binds at terabyte scale. Its rate is flat per region, so the only variable is where the viewers are: the same terabyte costs $30.72 from Asia and $61.44 from Africa.

How we measured it

We loaded the Bunny.net, Fastly and Backblaze B2 pricing pages on 2026-10-25 and took the printed rates, the free allowances and the minimums from them. Each terabyte is read as 1,024 GB, the free allowance is applied once, and the arithmetic is dated. No video was uploaded or served and no benchmark was run. The B2 scenarios assume the traffic is fetched directly from B2 rather than through a partner CDN, because through a partner the egress is unlimited but the partner's delivery rate applies instead.

What changes in practice

Requests are not the problem with video, and that is the reason the comparison stays clean. A terabyte of 10 MB files is about 100,000 requests; even at $0.01 per 10,000 that is $1.00 on Fastly, and Bunny bundles its API and request handling into the storage and delivery rates. For an image library the same terabyte could be tens of millions of requests, and the request meter would overtake the bandwidth meter entirely.

The real decision is whether you need an edge at all. B2 at $6.95 is the cheapest number in the table, and it is a storage endpoint in a handful of regions, not a CDN — viewers far from those regions get higher latency and worse throughput, which for video means buffering rather than a slower page. Bunny at $10.24 is 47% more and buys 119 points of presence (calculated 2026-10-25). Fastly at $110.88 buys a premium network and the tooling around it.

There is a hybrid worth knowing about. B2 lists Cloudflare, Fastly, bunny.net, CacheFly and several compute providers as partners where egress is unlimited and free, so a B2 origin behind Bunny's CDN pays $6.95 for storage plus Bunny's $10.24 for delivery and no B2 egress at all. That combination costs more than either alone and is the right answer when the origin has to be object storage rather than a CDN's own storage.

Bottom line

Serve 1 TB of video a month from Bunny.net and the bill is $10.24; from Fastly it is $110.88; from B2 direct it is $6.95 as long as you store at least a third of what you serve. The free allowance that matters is B2's three-times-stored rule, and it is the only one on this list that gets more generous the more you keep.
