Pricing	Cachefly	Telefónica
Price US/EU traffic - low volume	$0.37 per GB, at 250 GB per monthThis is the PLUS package: $99/month for 256 GB data transfer.	Not Available
Price US/EU traffic - high volume	$0.12 per GB, at 50 TB per monthThis is the price level in a custom plan. The CacheFly site mentions price/GB can be as low as $0.03/GB, and that is true but you have to do really high volume (many petabytes) to get that price.	Not Available
Extra charge for APAC region traffic	0%	Not Available
Storage	Lots of space included1000 MB included in the cheapest package (PLUS, 37 cents/GB transfer) and this increases as volume increases. E.g. for 50 TB transfer, the storage is 100 GB. Excess storage is charged at $15/GB regardless of the price plan.

Note: custom price plans are very common in the CDN market, especially for large volume customers. We recommend you always talk to the CDN provider about your needs and requirements and work with them to get a best-fit deal.
