Ranking
Akamai vs 48 alternatives
Ranked by what 10 people would pay a month on each tool's cheapest paid plan, in US dollars. Prices marked as checked come from the vendor's pricing page on that date; the others are as recorded in Surba's catalog, so check the vendor's site for the latest. Per-user prices are multiplied by the team; per-plan prices aren't. Tools without a comparable list price come last. Features differ between tools, so the cheapest isn't always the closest match.
