Pricing & Hosting Model

Bunny Optimizer operates on a pay-as-you-go model, typical of cloud-based services. Pricing is generally based on the volume of data processed and stored. Users pay for the bandwidth consumed by delivering optimized images through the Bunny.net CDN and for the storage of original and optimized images. This model makes it scalable and cost-effective, as users only pay for what they use. There are no fixed monthly fees for the optimization service itself, though the CDN bandwidth has its own pricing structure.
