Edit:
I’m sorry but I’m today years old learning that AWS indeed is free-ish, “Data Transfer from AWS Regions to the Internet is now free for up to 100 GB of data per month (up from 1 GB per region).”
“Data Transfer from Amazon CloudFront is now free for up to 1 TB of data per month (up from 50 GB), and is no longer limited to the first 12 months after signup.”
Now, I need to figure out why am I being billed each month for some of the files I use AWS for!

You wouldn't pay like anything for that on Cloudflare R2. You get 10GB and $0.015/GB (so what... like a dollar or something?) for anything over + free egress.
I hadn’t heard of this, only seen the “14 day free trial” thing, so I checked: the trial gives $20 of credit, and verifying a card gets you $30 more, but it’s all trial credits which expires 14 days after you create your account. In other words, completely useless for people looking to spend under the $1/month minimum.
Pity, free for 2½ years sounded good.
I’m OK with a sub-$10/mo budget, but Amazon Web Services doesn’t offer a way to pay recurring charges with Indian Cards. After this thread, I read up a lot yesterday and realized that Amazon AWS India is now pretty well oiled and working. I might stick to it and pay it off in advance. I’d be more than glad to, say, pay off $100 a year and not think about it.
The cost on AWS, I realize, is the S3 storage. Cloudflare is already fronting the CDN aspects of it.
So, I was looking for something with a sweet spot, say, pay something in the lines of $10 a year, at max about $25 a year, and it just dumps all of my files now and, to an extent, in the long term.
I’ve been looking for an extra-cheap CDN, and I’m not so worried about high uptime. I’m not yet ready to cough up the cost for Cloudflare R2 and AWS CloudFront, though it’s not costly, but I’m still in that cheap-feeling phase and not ready to offload over 100GB of files to the public while paying a price.
I looked at Bunny CDN a while back, but I remember thinking that the minimum was like ~$50. What did I miss? I dismissed it as non-personal option.
