Cloudflare Stream review

A high-performance, low-cost infrastructure play for developers.

Verdict

Cloudflare Stream is the wildcard because it's not a business hosting 'platform' but a pure infrastructure service, offering incredibly fast video delivery at a low, pay-as-you-go price for teams building their own video tools.

What customers praise

Its pricing is simple and transparent: $5 per 1,000 minutes viewed and $1 per 1,000 minutes stored, with no complex plans, making it highly cost-effective for applications with variable traffic.

What customers criticise

It provides zero built-in marketing or sales tools. There are no lead capture forms, no heatmaps, and no CRM integrations; you must build all of that yourself using their API.

Best for

Developer-led teams that want to build custom video applications on top of a high-performance, usage-based infrastructure.
