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

Mlytics launched in 2017 with Multi-CDN routing and monitoring. It now emphasizes Cortex, an AI answer and content platform, while continuing to sell and support its Multi-CDN business.

  • Multi-CDN: delivery configuration, routing and performance observation.
  • Origin Shield: a separate origin-security layer.
  • Video Stream: media delivery and switching across sources.
  • Cortex: content workflows and an AI intent/answer layer.

Choose Multi-CDN or Cortex for your workload, then check that product’s included features.

Network

Cortex advertises twelve integrated CDN networks and coverage in more than eighteen countries. These are combined provider capabilities, not an inventory of Mlytics-owned caches.

Coverage depends on the selected networks and product. Older plan guides include retired provider names; confirm the current options before planning a route. Ask which connected networks and locations will serve your audience.

For mainland China, verify domain, origin, registration and selected delivery-path requirements; no blanket exemption is assumed.

Multi-CDN delivery

Cache rules, path purges and tiered caching are documented in the control plane. Purge requests accept up to ten paths; instantaneous completion is unconfirmed.

WebSocket delivery depends on the connected CDN. Enabling it removes networks that do not support the protocol from routing. RUM requires a JavaScript beacon in the application.

Origin security

Origin Shield provides WAF core rules, bot challenges, DDoS mitigation and API protection. Time-limited URL tokens and optional rate limits are validated at this layer, rather than establishing token validation at every connected cache. Confirm how cache hits and bypass paths are protected.

Media and visibility

Video Stream combines Multi-CDN switching, peer-assisted delivery and analytics. Its documented live setup accepts RTMP and creates low-latency HLS output. Some guides still list retired delivery networks, so verify current network choices and media setup with Mlytics.

Dashboard analytics combine traffic, requests and cache metrics. Underlying providers can define misses differently. Guaranteed log completeness, delivery latency and automated exports are unconfirmed.

Pricing

Request a quote for your selected product and usage. The subscription terms place service quantities and fees in the order form, with additional charges for usage beyond the agreed limit.

Request separate terms for routing/decisions, underlying delivery, requests, media processing, security and support. The former pricing URL is unavailable; ask for the current Cortex rates and included usage.

Use Advanced → Add your quote in the calculator with confirmed delivery and request rates, minimums and fixed charges. Add costs that are not represented by those meters as monthly extras.

Developer tools

  • Manage resources through the documented HTTPS/JSON API with an API key, permission checks and per-key rate limits.
  • Use the provider-maintained MCP server for site, DNS, settings and report operations where supported.
  • Install a RUM beacon for application-level measurements.
  • Integrate Video Stream with its SDKs and the selected media workflow.

Check support for the MCP tools your project needs before using them in production. CDN Terraform coverage is unconfirmed. Test DNS, certificates, routing and application behavior during a migration; there is no assumed zero-downtime guarantee.

When it fits

  • Teams operating several CDNs that want unified configuration and routing.
  • Applications able to instrument real-user performance with a beacon.
  • Media delivery evaluating in-stream switching and peer assist.
  • Developers evaluating Cortex content workflows with a confirmed delivery and security contract.

Before you choose

  • Get a quote and confirm the delivery networks available for your project.
  • Check Terraform, edge code and log-export support if your workflow needs them.
  • Test the selected media setup rather than relying on an older integration guide.
