These are very different kinds of bandwidth. The only provider above to offer anycast IP (AFAIK) is AWS Global Accelerator.. it's $.015/gb on top of the regular $.09ish/gb EC2 egress charge. GCE offer anycast load balancing but it is (AFAIK) HTTP only and even pricier than AWS.
With Fly you're getting the raw magic behind Lambda@Edge, CloudFlare Workers and every anycast DNS and edge reverse proxy service in existence, with a large chunk of compute, RAM and local storage to build out whatever exact combination of CloudFront or whatever else you like thrown in as part of the deal. Also if you want to skimp on backends, it's still possible to use their HTTPS termination (ala GCE) to reduce handshake latency without rearchitecting everything
