## Reviews

### "Performs well, but is overpriced" — 3.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *December 2, 2024* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: We were locked into a lower legacy rate which made using Cloudinary a really good deal. It was simple and easy to use, and the links would load fairly quickly.
> 
> **Cons**: It really doesn't make sense price wise compared to many other competitors. If we weren't locked into a legacy rate, we would not use Cloudinary. The UI is also quite dated.
> 
> It works well, and loads links fast. Our developers like it. It's just not worth it from a cost perspective though.
