Basic DDoS and bot protection are advertised across web plans. WAF, rate limiting and shield regions depend on the plan. Use the purge status API to check completion before depending on refreshed content.
Separate streaming plans include live/VOD delivery and RTMP/HLS. SRT, DASH, DRM and higher-resolution transcoding depend on the streaming tier.
Pricing
Web plans: Free $0 for one site, Hobby $5/month for three, Pro $29/month for ten; Enterprise is custom. Each domain or subdomain counts as a site. Pro and Enterprise support wildcards. The page advertises unlimited web traffic.
Streaming Creator is $49/month with 100 live hours, 500 GB storage and 1 TB bandwidth. Professional is $199/month with 500 hours, 2 TB storage and 5 TB bandwidth. Ask for streaming overage rates; the web calculator does not price video or mixed workloads. Confirm workload eligibility and optional service costs.
Developer tools
Deploy versioned configuration with the CLI or REST APIs. API clients use scoped, short-lived tokens; limits vary by service. If you need Terraform automation, ask which CDN resources and workflows are supported.
Request, security and function logs can be delivered to supported storage and analytics destinations, including S3, Google Cloud Storage and Datadog. Confirm log coverage, delivery latency and availability on your plan.
When it fits
- Web applications needing programmable caching and deployments.
- Teams comparing fixed web-plan prices and site limits.
- Streaming projects that can size storage, viewer traffic and live-hour requirements separately.
Before you choose
- Streaming has its own contract and allowances; the web plans’ unlimited traffic offer does not price it.
- Existing Edgio accounts need their own migration checks.
- Ask about required cache locations or Terraform support before choosing the service.
