For static files (images, JS, CSS, downloads), both KeyCDN and Bunny.net are solid. In most cases, Bunny.net is the better default choice today, especially for price/performance and ease of use.
Quick take
- Choose Bunny.net if you want:
- lower cost
- very simple setup
- strong global performance
- extra features like image optimization, streaming, storage, and edge rules
- Choose KeyCDN if you want:
- a more traditional CDN feel
- you already use it and it works fine
- specific workflow or preference around its control panel/features
Main differences
1) Pricing
- Bunny.net is usually cheaper for many common use cases, with very competitive bandwidth pricing.
- KeyCDN can still be cost-effective, but Bunny often wins on raw price.
2) Ease of use
- Bunny.net is generally easier and faster to set up.
- Cleaner UI, straightforward pull zones, simple caching rules.
- KeyCDN is also manageable, but feels a bit more old-school.
3) Performance
- Both are fast and suitable for static assets.
- In real-world use, Bunny frequently gets praised for excellent global performance and quick propagation, but differences can be small depending on your audience and origin.
4) Features
Bunny.net
- Bunny Optimizer (image resizing/compression)
- Bunny Storage
- Edge Rules
- Token authentication / hotlink protection
- Video streaming options
KeyCDN
- Strong basic CDN features
- Good analytics
- Origin shield / zone management
- Useful security and caching controls
5) Support and ecosystem
- Bunny.net is often preferred by small teams and indie projects because of fast support and polished tooling.
- KeyCDN is reliable and established, but Bunny tends to feel more modern.
Recommendation
If your goal is simply serving static files fast and cheaply, I’d pick:
Bunny.net
When KeyCDN might still make sense
- you already have it integrated
- you’re satisfied with current costs/performance
- you prefer its specific account/admin setup
