Region / bandTierPrice per GB
North America (next 9 TB)after free 1 TB$0.0850
North America (next 40 TB)10 TB to 50 TB$0.0800
Europe (next 9 TB)after free 1 TB$0.0850
Europe (next 40 TB)10 TB to 50 TB$0.0800

Worked example

Acme Streaming Co. (illustrative example, not a real company) serves 30 TB/month with the mix 60% North America, 30% Europe, 10% Asia Pacific.

30 TB/month at AWS CloudFront's cheapest published rate ($0.0800/GB):
~$2,458/month
Asia and other premium regions are billed at higher rates per the published table. This figure is a rack-rate floor for the dominant region, not a forecast. Acme's real invoice will include request fees, premium features (WAF, image optimisation), and any commitment-tier discounts.

Best fit and watch-out

Best for

Workloads already on AWS that need tight Lambda@Edge or S3 integration.

Watch out for

Origin egress from EC2/S3 to CloudFront edges is free, but CloudFront delivery to end users still costs $0.08 to $0.085 per GB in NA/EU. High-traffic sites bleed money against flat-rate Cloudflare or Bunny tiers.
