The prices are excellent if you have a small number of images read/processed many times over a month. If you have a large number of images touched only a few times a month, it's horrendously expensive.

For example I can thumbnail ~7M images in ~2 days on my dedicated machine (40/s) which costs me $60/mo to colocate. $60/mo gets me a paltry 20k images from Imgix (though admittedly I can process them multiple times for the same price, I don't need to).
