Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage Now Has S3 Compatible APIs

Does AWS (and GCP and Azure) not do the exact same thing when transferring data out via Cloudfront (or their respective CDN)? Is Backblaze really special in that regard?

(backblaze ceo here) AWS is free to Cloudfront because that's an AWS service. AWS/GCP/Azure are not free (and quite expensive) to Cloudflare. Backblaze is free to Cloudflare.

And Cloudflare is also the winning reverse proxy caching provider, the one that people tend to use even despite transit charges to AWS/GCP/Azure.

Cloudfront costs a non-trivial amount of money per GB: https://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/pricing/

How does that compare to Cloudflare? Is Cloudflare completely free for CDN? I can't find a clear pricing page.

Cloudflare dont charge per GB. They are more like per "feature" CDN.
