Bunny Stream Review (2026): Slovenian Video Hosting from $1 a Month

What is Bunny Stream?

Who is behind Bunny Stream

Bunny Stream is the video hosting product of bunny.net, a content delivery network run by BunnyWay d.o.o. in Ljubljana, Slovenia. bunny.net says it started in 2014 with a founder named Dejan, and that it now has more than 85,000 customers and powers 1.5 million websites. It does not publish its owners or investors on its about page. Besides Stream, bunny.net sells a CDN, edge storage, DNS and security services.

Stream is built for embedding video on your own website or app, not as a public platform like YouTube. You upload videos to a video library, Bunny encodes them into several resolutions, and you embed its player or use the HLS files with a player of your choice.

Where Bunny Stream hosts your data

Bunny Stream uploads go through a single main region, and you choose up to eight replication points. The storage regions listed in Bunny’s documentation include Frankfurt, Stockholm and London, plus New York, Los Angeles, Singapore, Sydney, São Paulo and Johannesburg, so you can keep your files in Europe or spread them worldwide. Delivery runs over bunny.net’s network of more than 119 points of presence. When I checked, the bunny.net website was served from TeraSwitch (AS20326) and the Stream player from CDN77 (AS60068), both routed to the nearest location – not from AWS, Azure or Google Cloud.

bunny.net says it is committed to GDPR and acts as a data processor for your videos, and that Bunny Stream does not process or store permanently identifiable information.

Bunny Stream pricing

Bunny Stream is billed by usage, in US dollars. Storage costs from $0.01 per GB a month and delivery from $0.005 per GB, and the more regions you replicate to, the more storage you pay for. Encoding, the player and the security features cost nothing extra, and the minimum bill is $1 a month. Bunny’s calculator shows 300 GB of video with 50 GB of monthly traffic and one replication point at $4.50 a month on the Standard tier and $3.25 on the Volume tier. Enterprise Multi-DRM and premium encoding are priced on request. There is no free plan, but a 14-day trial without a credit card.

Compared with Vimeo, whose Starter plan costs $12 per seat a month with a 2 TB monthly bandwidth limit, Bunny is usually much cheaper for small libraries and has no per-seat fees.

Features and security

The Bunny Player is customisable – colours, controls and language – and supports captions, chapters, Chromecast and AirPlay. Statistics show views, watch time, viewers by country, engagement scores and heatmaps. Transcribe AI creates captions with one click and translates them into 56 languages, and Smart Generate writes titles, descriptions and chapters. You can upload in the browser, by API with resumable TUS uploads, or fetch a video from a URL, and webhooks tell your app when encoding is done.

For protection, MediaCage Basic adds free encryption to every playback session, and signed, expiring tokens limit who can watch. MediaCage Enterprise adds Widevine and FairPlay DRM, which Bunny says can block downloads, screen recording and screenshots. Live streaming is not part of Stream’s documentation.

What users say about Bunny Stream

On Trustpilot bunny.net has 4.7/5 from 1,609 reviews (checked 25 October 2026), but the profile covers the whole company, not only Stream. Reviewers praise fast, 24/7 support, reliability, easy setup and value, and Stream users mention good playback quality. Complaints include accounts suspended by the anti-fraud system without warning, slow support replies in some cases and a confusing first setup.

Pros and cons

Verdict on Bunny Stream

Verdict: Bunny Stream is the cheapest serious video host from an EU company: Slovenian, usage-based from $1 a month, with free encoding, a good player and DRM if you need it. It is closer to infrastructure than to Vimeo, so it suits people who are happy to think in gigabytes and regions. Best for: websites, course creators and SaaS teams with lots of views. Not for: marketing teams who want a simple, all-in-one video app.

Bunny Stream is ranked #3 in Best European alternatives to Vimeo and in Best European video hosting.
