Akamai EdgeWorkers Pricing

Akamai’s pricing for EdgeWorkers is not transparent, suggesting that it may be complex and costly. Their custom contracts often require direct negotiation, which makes it difficult to estimate costs without consulting them directly.

The only information Akamai discloses is that EdgeWorkers pricing is based on the number of events invoked per month, divided into three tiers:

  • Basic Compute: Lower-cost tier with limited resource consumption.
  • Dynamic Compute: Standard tier with moderate resource limits.
  • Enterprise Compute: Higher-cost tier offering expanded resource limits.
