  "price": "No free tier; 30-day trial with 100 credits. Starter $25/mo (100 credits, 50 GB storage, 100 GB bandwidth); Basic $75/mo; Growth $300/mo. Overage $0.12-$0.25/credit",
  "tier": "paid",
  "pick": false,
  "what": "Real-time image processing CDN that sits in front of your existing origin — S3, GCS, a web folder — and transforms on request via URL parameters. Supports over 100 params, automatic AVIF/WebP with <code>auto=format</code>, and content-aware cropping. No re-upload or migration needed.",
  "why": "Best when your images already live somewhere and you only want a rendering layer. Point it at your bucket, add <code>?auto=format,compress</code>, and every image negotiates AVIF or WebP with no storage migration.",
  "warn": "Moved to a credit-based model, so storage, bandwidth and renders draw on one pool and forecasting is harder than the old per-origin-image pricing. There is no permanent free tier — only a 30-day trial.",
