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

Gcore is a Luxembourg-based CDN, cloud and security provider founded in 2014. Its CDN distributes websites, files and prepared media streams; FastEdge and Video Streaming are separate products.

Choose CDN delivery settings first, then add application compute, video processing or WAAP protection where the workload requires them.

Network

Gcore advertises 210+ CDN PoPs across six continents and 200+ Tbps network capacity. Test delivery from your audience’s networks before choosing a plan. A current cache-city list for this map remains unconfirmed.

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

  • CDN supports TLS 1.3, WebSockets and HTTP/3 in beta. Check beta availability before making HTTP/3 a production requirement.
  • Origin Shield adds a cached mid-tier; Always Online can serve cached content for selected origin errors or while an object updates. It cannot recover objects never cached.
  • Purge supports URL, pattern and whole-resource requests with rate limits and completion status. Check purge completion status before depending on fresh content.
  • Logs Uploader exports delivery logs in batches every 5–60 minutes, rather than immediately per request. Raw log and destination costs need to be included separately.
  • FastEdge runs Wasm applications; its Edge Storage supplies key-value data. Both are separate services with their own usage charges.
  • Basic L3/L4 DDoS protection is in the CDN PAYG plan. WAAP, bot policies and request rate limits depend on the selected plan.
  • Video Streaming adds RTMP/SRT/WHIP live ingest, transcoding and HLS/DASH packaging. Prepared-media CDN delivery and video processing use different charging models.

Pricing

  • CDN PAYG includes 1 TB/month of transfer, then €0.01/GB. Requests above one billion cost €0.75 per million. VAT is excluded.
  • Image optimization includes 10,000 operations monthly, then €1 per 10,000. Enterprise terms are custom.
  • WAAP and live streaming are on demand. FastEdge compute/storage and Video Streaming have separate tariffs.
  • Use a quote in the calculator with a consistent currency and those optional services included. The published euro tariff is not automatically converted into a dollar estimate.

Developer tools

  • Manage CDN resources through the REST API, official Python/Go SDKs and Terraform provider. Use the current supported resource/options versions.
  • Configure Logs Uploader destinations such as HTTP, S3-compatible storage or FTP/SFTP. Exports are batched every 5–60 minutes.
  • Follow the documented CMS and origin integrations, including WordPress and cloud storage; translating another CDN configuration still requires matching its cache and access rules.

When it fits

  • Websites, APIs and software downloads needing a configurable delivery network.
  • Teams automating resource settings with API, SDK or Terraform workflows.
  • Media services that can budget CDN delivery separately from streaming processing and storage.

Before you choose

  • Logs Uploader batches start at five minutes; use another arrangement if you need faster exported logs.
  • HTTP/3 is beta, so confirm availability before depending on it in production.
  • WAAP, video processing and FastEdge add charges beyond CDN transfer.
