jsDelivr vs Uploadcare

jsDelivr is a free CDN for open-source files from GitHub and npm. It delivers JavaScript, ESM and other web formats through web and API platforms, with 540 edge locations. The Free CDN plan costs nothing and has no bandwidth limits or premium features. Its multi-CDN network uses Cloudflare, Fastly, Bunny, GCore and custom servers where coverage is limited. Load balancing uses recent performance and availability data, while two DNS providers, health monitoring and multiple origin data centers provide failover. Package tools include on-demand file combining and minification, source maps and version aliases. The API exposes package versions, tags, files, entry-point suggestions, download statistics and network-wide usage statistics. ESM delivery supports modern browsers, Node.js and Deno, with HTTP/3, Brotli compression, caching and dependency preloading. The project links Terms of Use and a Privacy Policy.

Uploadcare is a file-handling platform for websites and mobile apps, covering uploads, storage, image processing and delivery through a CDN. Its API accepts direct, multipart and URL uploads, and the uploader can also take files from local storage, a webcam, URLs and listed cloud services. Image tools include URL-based transformations, automatic optimization, responsive images and format selection. Paid plans add asynchronous video processing and document conversion. Uploadcare lists integrations for JavaScript, React, Angular, Vue, Webflow, Framer and WordPress, plus Zapier and Make; Swift and Kotlin SDKs and iOS and Android upload widgets are also available. Its stated security measures include malware scanning, TLS 1.2+ in transit and AES-256 encryption at rest. A free plan allows 1 GB storage, 5 GB monthly traffic and 1,000 operations per month, with a 500 MB file limit. Reaching its usage limits suspends service until the next month. Pro costs $66/mo (annual).
