How much can I save with the Bandwidth Alliance?

The data transfer fees charged by many cloud providers can be an integral part of your cloud hosting bill. Since cloud providers use their own global telecommunication backbone or use transit service providers to carry traffic, they incur infrastructure costs, which they pass on to their customers as data transfer fees.

Our partners have agreed to pass on these cost savings to our joint customers by waiving or reducing data transfer charges.

To help you get a sense of the scale of your potential savings by moving to the Bandwidth Alliance, we have put together a calculator.

This egress savings calculator is for informational purposes only. Prices are limited to the public egress transfer bandwidth fees as of March 6, 2020, and do not include taxes and any other fees such as storage fees. Egress transfer fee discount or waiver may require registration with the hosting provider and does not apply to data transfer originating from mainland China. The fees for the data transfer from your cloud provider to Cloudflare are determined and billed solely by your cloud provider. Cloudflare is not responsible for any fees your cloud provider charges you.
