    Additional Details—Dash prices by storage and download volume rather than by user. Every plan includes unlimited users, so brands can give access to their whole marketing, ecommerce and creative team, along with external collaborators such as agencies, photographers and retail partners, without per-seat costs increasing as they grow. All features are included on every plan, including AI search, auto-tagging, guest upload links, branded partner portals, image editing tools, CDN embedding and integrations with Shopify, WooCommerce, WordPress, Canva and Hootsuite. Brands choose a plan based on how much they store and how often assets are downloaded, not on which capabilities they need. Free migration and onboarding support are included on all plans, covering the move from tools such as Google Drive, Dropbox, SharePoint or another DAM. Prices are listed in US, GBP, EUR, CAD and AUD and billed monthly by standard, with a 10% discount for annual billing. You can also get a further 10% off if you're a non-profit. The Established brand plan scales from 200GB to 50TB of storage with unlimited downloads, suited to brands with large product photography and video libraries.

    Cloudinary handles pretty much anything you have related to images. From serving them up efficiently to adding transformations on the fly, there's really little this service doesn't do. Their pricing plans allow you to grow into the right levels and their website dashboards are very helpful. I would easily recommend this for all but the simplest of use cases.

    Cons
    Cloudinary
    • Their API does require URLs that can get quite lengthy and not always easy to parse on sight.
    • Documentation on how transformations work and what they actually do to your image could be clearer (what does force_strip actually mean?).
    • Although a free tier exists and is quite generous, should you need to acquire a premium plan for your needs the pricing at scale can climb quickly.

    We rarely use their support. But when we need it they are always there. They provide great consultation and suggestions to help us manage our costs and resources better. In the last 8 years perhaps we have contacted them 3 or 4 times - which is really really great

    Cloudinary seemed to be the most sophisticated with the most documentation and platform support. Other solutions seemed to be a lot harder to implement, however, due to the good documentation and API samples on their GitHub we were able to implement it nicely. Additionally, they have a lot of really well-known brands using them like Wired, Sky News, and eBay which gave us a lot of confidence that this was a good robust solution to use and to help others with
