alt Hacker NewsThe 1 dollar thing, I think, looks exceptionally bad because it shows that what Bunny says can't be taken at face value.
The fact is we're here because they posted a blog talking about how great they are making DNS free "because a faster internet won’t build itself".
But now I've just learnt from comments on HN that Bunny DNS isn't free.
They've lost my trust before they even had it.

Yeah I ruled them out months ago because it was $1, I saw this post and was about to reconsider them and in my case it's the same as it was.
Huh?
It literally explains this in the blog post
> As with all bunny.net services, accounts using the platform are subject to our standard $1/month minimum spend, but DNS itself no longer incurs any usage-based charges.
Sure seems like you’re trying very hard to find a problem here.
If you’re not down with their prepaid/$1 model there is always CF.
No, this is just a silly take.
AWS can make data export free, and no-one's going to shout at them that it's not free because it cost money to store the data there in the first place.
Bunny offers a number of services to paying customers. One of the services, that would previously have incurred a cost, now does not. It is free.
Besides $1 means you need to give them your credit card from day one. That's probably the only reason they have that minimum limit to begin with.
