Yeah, we were looking for image CDN services (with resizing etc). Asked CloudFlare and they said $200 a month, everyone else was saying $3-5k per month.

Had a sales call with CloudFlare, they said yes they do flat rate billing and it's only $200 a month for all we can eat image hosting.

We of course called bullshit and third time around (talking to human sales reps) we said, just to get it in writing, we can do X bandwidth/Y images for $200 a month?

...oh errr, no, that would be more like $7k.

Thankfully we smelled bullshit and didn't take sales word for it. We'd have built an integration and started paying only to be bitten a month or two later when they readjusted our pricing. They basically refuse to talk about real pricing until you're already paying $200/m and locked in.

We ended up hosting our own on GKE for $500-$1k/m.
