Pay-as-you-go video hosting and delivery
bunny.net is a content delivery network with a video product on top, and it charges by the gigabyte with a one dollar monthly minimum. A creator embedding video on their own site pays for what people actually watch instead of buying a plan sized for a good month. It expects you to be comfortable with a dashboard built for developers, and it does not try to be a membership platform.
Our note
This is the cheapest way to put video on your own site by a wide margin, and the cost of that is doing the integration yourself. Set the bandwidth limit on day one; usage billing without a ceiling is the one way this gets expensive.
Only on this side
Big files sent without an account
WeTransfer sends a large file to somebody who does not want to install anything, sign up for anything or be walked through a shared drive. That is the entire product and it has been for years. The free tier moves 3 GB a month across ten transfers, and paying removes the size limit, the expiry and the ten.
Our note
For occasional delivery the free tier is the whole product and always has been. The paid plan is worth it only when clients see the transfer page often enough for the branding to matter, or when files routinely run past a couple of gigabytes.
