Your traffic

Choose a workload. We’ll estimate traffic and requests for you.

Estimated monthly costs

USD per month, before tax. Load balancing and unpriced extras are excluded.

What’s included?

Estimates cover cacheable content. Origin and optional services are added only when you enter their rates. Plans differ in features and coverage; check their terms before buying.

Advanced settings
Split traffic between regions

Percentages must total 100%. The same split applies to bytes and requests. CloudFront charges by serving edge location; this is an approximation. Shared free allowances are allocated proportionally.

Origin and optional services

Paid tiers start with this workload; estimates do not include other account traffic. Enter your own effective rates after origin allowances. Reads use request misses; egress uses byte fill. Functions assume one invocation per viewer request. Zero leaves an extra out of the estimate; it does not mean your origin is free.

Compare a quote you received

This is your quote, not a published provider price. Use an effective rate for the selected traffic mix; tiers, included usage and commitments need to be reflected in your inputs. Sharing a scenario includes your quote details.

Presets are starting assumptions, not measured traffic. Video assumes one rendition and segment GETs; playlists, retries and extra audio tracks add requests. Fill is a byte ratio, not a request cache-hit rate. GB = 1 billion bytes; Google bills GiB = 1,073,741,824 bytes; CloudFront estimates use binary GB as a billing assumption.

Overview

Baidu AI Cloud CDN accelerates websites, software downloads and media. Its static CDN and dynamic acceleration options let teams choose caching or optimized origin routing for different parts of an application.

Network

Baidu documents mainland-China and international delivery separately. For a China-focused site, check domain registration requirements and origin placement during setup. The billing zones matter more to a budget than a headline network count.

✓ Supported · Partial: limited or separate-product support · ✗ Not supported · Not listed: unconfirmed. Some features need a separate product or plan.

  • Website delivery: cache images, stylesheets, scripts and other static assets.
  • Downloads and media: use CDN delivery for application packages and on-demand files.
  • Dynamic traffic: assess the dynamic acceleration service separately from cached delivery.

Pricing

Base delivery can use traffic or peak-bandwidth billing. Published rates are in CNY and depend on mainland or international billing zones.

Optional HTTP/3 requests add a charge to CDN. Dynamic acceleration has separate dynamic HTTPS request charges and traffic measurement. A small-file workload can therefore cost differently even when the delivered GB are the same.

Developer tools

The product documentation covers domain onboarding, origin configuration and cache checks. Baidu also documents domain-management APIs and a Python CDN SDK. Verify domain ownership, HTTPS and cache status before the DNS switch.

When it fits

  • Applications serving a substantial mainland-China audience.
  • Teams already using Baidu cloud services for storage or media.

Before you choose

  • Budget for optional protocol and dynamic-request charges.
  • Check China domain requirements and the correct international tariff.
