Considered Both Products	Cloudimage CM Chris Mou Technical Director Chose Cloudimage We chose Cloudimage for the value for money, and the ability to link with our own hosting. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Cloudimage We don't like the new pricing scheme for imgix at all. We could have gone from 100 USD / month to 500 USD / month because they price based on source image (we had 50, 000). With Cloudimage, the pricing is based on source image cache (gigabytes) and CDN bandwidth (gigabytes). Incentivized Helpful? Nick Hutchins Senior eCommerce Developer Chose Cloudimage So apparently I can't select the options. I have tried, but the only other one we seriously looked at was Piio.

User Testimonials
	Cloudimage	Google Cloud CDN
Likelihood to Recommend	Use it if you have a ton of source images and need many transformations. Don't use it if you only want to serve a few image[s] to a very very large number of users (CDN bandwidth costs) Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Google Cloud CDN is available globally and supports various load balancers available in different regions around the globe, so I find Google Cloud CDN as one of the best choices for CDN as it serves globally and it is really fast, safe, and secure. It might be not suitable for you if you do not have any technical background. Incentivized KS Kashish Sharma Jr. Marketing Executive Read full review
Pros	Image manipulation Connecting to self hosted servers Delivers images to the browser CM Chris Mou Technical Director Read full review	Google Cloud CDN works really well with other Google cloud platform produces like Google Cloud Storage. Users of Google services will have an easier learning curve. The service can really enhance the overall speed of websites and platforms online. Incentivized Bruce Emmerling Digital Media Specialist Read full review
Cons	Having tiers based either more on source cache / CDN bandwidth (for some persons) Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Unable to use any kind of code to show different content. Absence of cloud workers as provided by Cloudfront, Cloudflare and Akamai. No support for dynamic routing. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	No answers on this topic	There is not really an interface for managing rules directly, compared to market leaders, Google's implementation is probably strong on the technical side but for the average user it might be lacking. There are no advanced features which can be compared to what other leaders in the CDN sector are providing or they can be achieved but with high implementation cost and usage of other products in the Google Cloud suite Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	We have a single contact point, but CI has been immaculate with their support offering. Instantaneous and comprehensive. Nick Hutchins Senior eCommerce Developer Read full review	I didn't have the need to use support from Google when I was either testing or setting up my website. Information was easily found by searching online if I needed to, and the options that I needed to install or enable were there on the setup page. Honestly, I was a former systems administrator so most of this stuff is not challenging for me. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
