Does AWS (and GCP and Azure) not do the exact same thing when transferring data out via Cloudfront (or their respective CDN)? Is Backblaze really special in that regard?

Cloudfront costs a non-trivial amount of money per GB: https://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/pricing/ https://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/pricing/

  How does that compare to Cloudflare? Is Cloudflare completely free for CDN? I can't find a clear pricing page.

    https://www.cloudflare.com/plans/ https://www.cloudflare.com/plans/ Cloudflare dont charge per GB. They are more like per "feature" CDN.

(backblaze ceo here) AWS is free to Cloudfront because that's an AWS service. AWS/GCP/Azure are not free (and quite expensive) to Cloudflare. Backblaze is free to Cloudflare.

  And Cloudflare is also the winning reverse proxy caching provider, the one that people tend to use even despite transit charges to AWS/GCP/Azure.

  Bit confusing. Need more clarity. Read 10 times. Pls recheck mr. ceo :)
