Fastly (FSLY) Announces Simplified Pricing and Packages
Fastly, Inc. (NYSE:) today announced new, simplified pricing and packages for its core services, making it easier for companies of all sizes to try, buy, and use the powerful Fastly platform. These packages for delivery, security, and edge computing, will make adoption of Fastly technology faster, easier and more predictable for new users, while creating an even more attractive offering and experience for large existing customers looking to expand their deployments.
“Today’s fast-moving market demands innovation, but also greater flexibility to meet all enterprise business needs. Fastly has understood this all the way. Their new packages and pricing, combined with its powerful platform, enables global users to deliver the best-in-class customer experiences, wherever they are in their digital transformation today, and have the ability to scale quickly and efficiently as their businesses grow and thrive,” concluded Ghassan Abdo, IDC Research, VP, WW Telecom, Virtualization & CDN.
To simplify pricing, Fastly is adding flat-rate pricing options for customers who don’t want to manage usage-based consumption. The new, predictable pricing removes the risk of surprise bills associated with events like traffic spikes, global malicious attacks, or misconfigurations, which can result in overage charges on pay-per-use plans. Pricing is straightforward, transparent and competitive, with no fine print or hidden charges. Customers have the flexibility to mix and match packages to meet their unique needs. The packages (Starter, Advantage and Ultimate) are designed to cover the needs of companies of all sizes. Every Fastly package includes the company’s industry-leading technical and customer support.
“Not having to worry about bandwidth usage overages was a significant factor in our decision to choose Fastly. We value predictable pricing, even when our customer traffic surges and spikes,” said Joel Wiegman, Senior Director of Software Engineering at Abercrombie & Fitch. “We are confident we’ve found a technology partner in Fastly that aligns with increased needs for developer-centric capabilities and innovation. Their modern, self-service platform will enable our engineers to better execute Abercrombie & Fitch’s aggressive digital roadmap.”
Usage-based pricing will remain available for any customer who prefers it, and Fastly will continue to innovate and expand on its usage-based options.
