CDN for SMB
CDN for SMB 2026 Verified: Cloudflare Free or Bunny $1/mo Minimum Wins Under 5 TB
Small business CDN almost always reduces to two choices: Cloudflare Free for set-and-forget or Bunny at $1/mo minimum for raw cost. CloudFront Free is also defensible up to 1 TB.

Direct answer
What CDN should an SMB use in 2026?
For under 1 TB/month: Cloudflare Free (unmetered) or AWS CloudFront (1 TB free tier). For 1-5 TB/month: Cloudflare Pro $25/mo or Bunny at $10-$50/mo. Avoid quote-only vendors entirely; they are not built for SMB.
