Watch for 7 hidden costs
  • Massive Unannounced Price Increases 275-600% of license costs
    critical 5 sources
    Trustpilot "StackPath used to be CDN which was phenomenal. We had legacy pricing. Suddenly in Feb 2023, our plan went up a whopping 275% without prior notice."
    Trustpilot "600% price increase with no warning. Refusing a refund as terms state they can basically charge whatever they like."
    Trustpilot "I've been a customer for 5 years now. Today I was emailed saying they would be increasing their prices. Long story short the cost of my service has now been increased by 500%."
    Trustpilot "Recently noticed our recurring payment went up from $120 USD annually to $371 annually -- this is a huge increase!?"
    Trustpilot "Thieves, from $20 a month to $125 without my consent."
  • New Energy Surcharge Fee $50-$300/month
    high 1 source
    Trustpilot "Added the following new fees: "energy surcharge" fee - a set fee based on previous usage. We reduced our usage by around 90% but the energy surchage fee remains the same (hundreds per month)"
  • Origin Shield Now Charged Separately 5-15% of license costs
    medium 1 source
    Trustpilot ""origin shield" fee - previously no cost for using origin shield, now it costs extra (no other CDN company charges for this)"
  • Paid Support Plans Required $199-$500/month
    high 2 sources
    Trustpilot ""support" fee - have an issue? Well now you have to pay to resolve it. Cheapest support is $199 per month and that's just email. Replies come within 3-5 days most of the time"
    Trustpilot "If you are not an enterprise customer with $$$ to spend on tech support then stay away."
  • No Prorated Refunds on Cancellation $25-$850
    high 2 sources
    Trustpilot "Canceled CDN services company wide. The end date was the 22nd of the month, they still pre-charged for the entire month of service. Trying to cancel and get a prorated refund has been fruitless."
    Trustpilot "We experienced a 275% price increase on our account with no warning. So we cancelled the account as soon as we noticed the over billing. We were not refunded for the prior month of overcharges."
  • CDN and WAF Services Discontinued with Short Notice 10-30% of license costs
    critical 3 sources
    Trustpilot "with less than 3 months notice, they announce that they're pulling the plug on their CDN offering. For us this means sudden reprioritization to move our white labeled SaaS CDN elsewhere."
    Trustpilot "Awful, avoid the company altogether. First, they made a huge price increase, and then they dropped the WAF plan totally with only a few weeks of notice."
    Trustpilot "Price increase, POP's closed then closure. Could have just been upfront to begin with."
  • Account Termination Without Warning 10-25% of license costs
    critical 2 sources
    Trustpilot "We have been using Stackpath for an year. Suddenly our websites stopped working. Tried to login into console - no luck."
    Trustpilot "Trouble started when they single-sidedly announced a number of extra fees for energy surcharge and services that were specifically waived in my contract."
Tip

Ask your StackPath sales rep about these costs upfront. Getting them in writing before signing can save you from surprise charges later.

How to Negotiate StackPath Pricing

StackPath contracts are negotiable. These 2 tactics are sourced from real buyer experiences and procurement specialists.

Negotiation Playbook 2 tactics
Push Hard Below List Price for Enterprise Deals medium success

Community sources with high CDN volume report that StackPath sales reps have historically offered pricing significantly below list rates when approached with aggressive targets. One high-volume CDN buyer reported that quoting a 'crazy' low target price almost always resulted in a surprisingly strong counter-offer. With all plans now requiring a sales conversation, this leverage applies to every engagement.

Reddit (r/wallstreetbets, r/googlecloud)
Lead with Competitive Quotes medium success

Bring documented quotes from Cloudflare, BunnyCDN, or Fastly into the sales conversation. Multiple community sources confirm StackPath has positioned itself as significantly cheaper than Cloudflare for high-bandwidth workloads. Presenting a competitor quote gives the sales rep justification to offer a lower price.
