Common questions about ZyCDN self-hosted CDN pricing plans and payment methods.
What payment methods does ZyCDN offer?
ZyCDN offers three payment options: Subscription at ¥10/node/month (20 nodes minimum), 10% off quarterly, 20% off yearly, additional 10% off for 50+ nodes; Unlimited at ¥1,500/month with all features; Perpetual license from ¥5,888 (10 nodes) to ¥48,888 (unlimited) as a one-time payment with permanent usage and free upgrades.
What is the difference between subscription and perpetual license?
Subscription is periodic payment (monthly/quarterly/yearly) requiring renewal, ideal for SMEs with flexible budgets. Perpetual is a one-time buyout with permanent usage, no renewal needed, ideal for long-term operations. Both include identical features: all CDN acceleration, security, log analysis, and node management, with free upgrades and support.
How are additional nodes priced?
Additional nodes are prorated from the main plan activation date. Example: If you activated 20 nodes on January 1st and add more on January 25th, the additional nodes expire on the same date as your main plan. This keeps all node licenses synchronized for easier management.
What does the Enterprise plan include?
Enterprise plan offers private deployment with unlimited nodes, dedicated line support, custom feature development and deep integration, dedicated technical advisor, and SLA agreement. Ideal for enterprises with special compliance, customization, or large-scale deployment needs. Pricing is custom — contact our sales team.
What does source code purchase include?
Full source code purchase includes: complete ZyCDN codebase, all modules (acceleration, security, logging, node management), tech docs and deployment guide, 1-year free support and upgrades, training and development guidance. One-time payment of ¥300,000. Post-purchase you can freely modify and develop, ideal for deep customization needs.
Can I try before buying?
Yes. ZyCDN provides a demo site (https://zycdn.com) where you can experience the product features. For a trial license, please contact our support team.
Can I adjust the number of nodes at any time?
Subscription plans support adding or removing nodes at any time during the subscription period. Costs are prorated based on remaining days. Perpetual licenses require separate incremental purchases for additional nodes.
What payment methods are available?
We support bank transfer, Alipay, WeChat Pay, and other payment methods. Enterprise users can request VAT invoices.
What is the refund policy?
Subscription plans are eligible for a full refund within 7 days of activation if unused. For used nodes, the remaining balance is refunded after deducting actual usage. Perpetual licenses are non-refundable.
