Chose Cloudimage
We chose Cloudimage for the value for money, and the ability to link with our own hosting.
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).
Chose Cloudimage
So apparently I can't select the options. I have tried, but the only other one we seriously looked at was Piio. A couple of others we evaluated (for such a brief time) were similar to Piio, and didn't really cover what we needed. Piio (and others) don't tick all the boxes we …

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)

ImageKit is very well suited as a CDN for images. It can generate thumbnails on the fly, show metrics about usage and traffic, and can even serve highly compressed web images and tiny blurry placeholder images to speed up the initial load time. It also has a very good React component that allows for lazy-loading images that are below the fold.

Read full review
  • Automatically convert images for fast delivery based on browser support and network quality.
  • Well-documented integration documentation that is easy to follow when getting started with your implementation.
  • Easy to navigate user dashboard for setup and management of server origins and account settings. The usage analytics page is also handy to track and fix any 404 errors there might be for an image/s.

Cons
  • Having tiers based either more on source cache / CDN bandwidth (for some persons)
Read full review
  • The Usage Analytics page could be laid out a little better and include filtering options, options may include path, country, IP Address, etc.
  • The ability to add an additional user to the starter plan would be great to illustrate the possibility to new customers.
  • The API Reference guide could include some more section-specific code examples for each of the supported technology stacks.
