Source: https://cloudinary.com/pricing

Can Cloudinary be self-hosted?

What security certifications does Cloudinary have?

We have independently confirmed GDPR for Cloudinary. Certifications we do not list are ones we have not been able to verify from public sources, which is not the same as Cloudinary not holding them. Always confirm compliance directly before you rely on it.

The vioscaleAI score: one lens on the evidence

Not user reviews and not a paid placement: a confidence-weighted blend of the independent signals below (adoption, activity, security posture, and more), which you can sort and re-weight yourself. Vendors can correct their listing but can never move their rank, and stars are weighted low as a vanity metric. It is one way to read the evidence for Cloudinary, not the verdict.
