Pricing and editions
cdnca comes in two editions. The community edition needs no activation and is completely free; the commercial edition, Plus, runs the same control plane and nodes and adds multi-tenant operations, billing, aggregated edge and full automatic defense.
Free for now — pricing will be announced later
- Both editions run the same control plane and nodes, installed with one command
- CC and WAF engines with custom rules in both editions
- Plus adds multi-tenant plans and usage billing so you can sell CDN service
