Introducing Flat Rate CDN
Blog post from Vercel
Vercel has introduced Flat Rate CDN for Pro teams to replace unpredictable usage-based CDN charges with fixed monthly pricing, spike protection, and capacity tiers based on typical traffic levels. New Pro teams receive the feature by default, while existing teams can opt in; coverage applies across all projects within a team and includes CDN requests, fast and Blob data transfer, and CDN-generated observability events. Plans range from an included tier offering 1 million requests and 1 TB of transfer to paid tiers supporting 10 million, 50 million, or 150 million requests with 50 TB of transfer, priced at $20, $100, and $300 per month respectively. Temporary traffic surges do not cause overages, throttling, degraded performance, or service interruption, as Vercel excludes spikes when assessing capacity and may adjust tiers for sustained growth in later billing cycles. The company says the service continues to use its premium network infrastructure, provides usage monitoring and capacity alerts, and allows teams to opt out and return to pay-as-you-go CDN billing.
