Cloud and infrastructure software statistics 2026

Cloud and infrastructure is priced at two extremes, and the ratings follow the same split. Toolradar tracks 505 tools holding 215,466 reviews. The median entry is $35. The mean is $284, almost ten times that, because a few platforms sit on a long list of CDNs, hosts, and storage tools. Oracle Cloud sits at 3.50 from 19,234 reviews. AWS sits at 4.40 from 17,730. BunnyCDN sits at 4.90 from 1,754. Dropbox, the volume leader, holds 53,152 reviews at 4.40.

Every figure below is computed from the Toolradar directory on September 17, 2026. The live dashboard is Cloud and infrastructure statistics. The buyer ranking is best cloud and infrastructure software.

How large the category is

We track 505 published tools, or 4.8% of the 10,619 tools in the directory. 72% (364 of 505) were added to Toolradar in 2026. "Added" means added to our directory, not founded this year.

Do not average a CDN and a hyperscaler. The $35 median is an edge or storage plan. The $284 mean is what happens when those sit in the same column as a cloud bill.

How these tools are priced

41% of the 505 tools are paid-only. 59% offer a free tier or freemium plan (296 tools). 11% are fully free.

How this data was measured

Every figure in this report is computed live from the Toolradar directory on September 17, 2026, covering the 505 published tools we categorize under Cloud and infrastructure. Pricing model is read from each vendor's official pricing page. The entry price is the cheapest positive monthly tier a tool publishes. Ratings and review counts are aggregated from third-party platforms (G2, Capterra, Trustpilot and others), not from Toolradar's own reviews. The leaderboard floor is 400 aggregated reviews. External statistics are cited inline and link to the exact source page. This is a directory snapshot, not a survey.
