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

Qiniu QCDN delivers web assets, large files and on-demand audio or video. It can be combined with Qiniu Kodo storage and separate media-processing services.

For a media application, compare the delivery bill with storage and processing rather than treating them as one tariff.

Network

Qiniu uses CDN partners and an intermediate origin layer to distribute content and reduce origin load. Mainland and international delivery have separate tariff groups. Test the audience markets you actually need rather than treating the partner network as one uniform service.

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

  • Caching: configure file and directory lifetimes, query handling, range fetches and prefetch.
  • Access: referrer, IP, user-agent and timestamp URL rules.
  • Operations: refresh tasks, cache-hit reports and downloadable access logs.

Pricing

Traffic tiers accumulate through the month. HTTP and HTTPS have different rates, and mainland-account CNY tariffs differ from overseas-account USD tariffs. Prepaid traffic packs are another option.

Verified accounts receive separate 10 GB domestic and overseas allowances for eligible static HTTP downloads. This is not a free HTTPS allowance. Image processing through Qiniu media services adds its own product costs.

Developer tools

The CDN API guide separates Qiniu-signed domain operations from QBox-signed usage, cache and log operations. Respect each endpoint’s rate limits and track refresh completion; a submitted refresh is not necessarily effective immediately.

When it fits

  • Kodo-based download or media applications.
  • Teams needing Chinese-market delivery plus programmable cache operations.

Before you choose

  • Use the price list for your account market and protocol.
  • Include storage and optional media processing in the budget.
