What is the best alternative to Uploadcare?

Upload.js
All

Experiences
Pros

Cons

Top
Pro
No dependencies
It's very lightweight, and doesn't depend on libraries like jQuery, React, etc.
See More
Top
Con
No free tier
There's a free trial, and there's a "free" API key, but it only stores files temporarily -- ok for hackathons or demos, but if you want to use this in a "real" application, you'll need to pay for an account. (It's $7/mo at the time of writing.)

Pro
Integrated cloud storage
Upload.js lets you add uploads to your site in an afternoon - even if you're on a tight deadline from the client, so don't have time to create an AWS account, setup buckets and URL pre-signing etc. You can just creat an Upload.io account, plug-in the API key, and have it all working within the hour.

Pro
Progress events
Has progress events that make it easy to add progress bars. They also appear to be smoothed (i.e. 1%, 2%, ... 100%, rather than 7%, 89%, 100%).

Pro
Large files
Apparently uses multipart uploads under-the-hood. After checking on the network inspector this seems to be true for larger files at least. Testing it with a ~300MB video it uploads fine.

Took a few seconds to setup
Upload.js installed into our web app in a few seconds. It's a lightweight library, so there's no UI elements. A "file input element" was already present on our page, and with Upload.js you set their helper method as the "onchange" attribute, and they take care of everything else from there.

Pro
Image resizing & cropping
Used their AI image cropping for some projects (you don't define crop geometry yourself -- they detect which part to crop for you), and manual cropping for others (where the user wanted to set which part of the image to crop in the UI). We're currently saving all our images out to webp.

Pro
Very cost-effective
Time savings aside, it's very cost-effective. Entry tier for like $7pm worked well for several client projects. Only upgraded to the $35pm tier because a client wanted password-protected files -- other than that, the quotas / limits are very generous.

Experiences

Cons

Top
Pro
Large scale point of presence
Being one of the worlds largest CDNs, Akamai's large scale gives it a huge point of presence (PoP) to handle volumetric attacks.
See More
Top
Con
Expensive
Akami's services cost more than triple comparative packages from other security companies. At 13k a month for DDoS protection, there are many other choices out there that cost less for the same protection.
See More
Top
Pro
Deeply customizable rules
The Kona Site Defender rules are all customizable, with continuous updates from Akamai. This means you can see how they are protecting your site under the hood, and adjust them to your needs.
See More
Top
Con
Slower security rule propagation
Because of Akamai's large CDN structure, it can take some time for security rules to propagate, making it harder to adjust security responses on the fly.

Top
Pro
Lots of dedicated bandwidth specifically for DDoS absorption
Through Prolexic's PLXedge, Akamai provides their customers with a total of 2.3 Tbps of dedicated DDoS absorption bandwidth.
See More
Top
Pro
Rules for rate limiting
Akamai provides tools for rate controlling traffic segments based on their request rate behavior.

Top
Pro
Capped bursting fees
If a sudden attack sucks up a lot of bandwidth, the bandwidth costs are capped.

Pro
Application layer protection
Akamai utilizes a proprietary web application firewall in order to provide scalable protection against application layer attacks.

Con
Limited browser support
Resumable.js only supports Firefox 4+ and Chrome 11+.
See More
Top
Pro
Fault tolerance for large files
Resumable.js splits each file into smaller chunks, this way if the upload of a chunk fails, uploading is retried until the procedure completes. This allows uploads to continue even after a network failure either locally or to the server. It also allows users to pause, resume and even recover uploads without even losing state.

Con
Wont let you add files programmatically
You can add files by binding to a file input or a dropzone, but you cannot add files programmatically.

Pro
Good backend support
The backend can be found in many languages and for many frameworks.

Free and open source
Resumable is completely free and distributed under the MIT license.

Requires dependencies
jQuery File Upload requires the jQuery UI library and the jQuery iFrame Transport dependencies

Pro
Chunked uploads supported
jQuery file upload splits large files into smaller chunks in order to increase upload speed and be able to resume quickly if one of the chunks fails to upload. This is because it only needs to re-upload the smaller chunk that failed.

Not production ready
Red is still under development and not considered stable.
See More
Top
Pro
Simple toolchain
Other languages have complex, multi-step setups that beginners often get stuck on. Red has no installer, no setup, no dependencies*, just a single small (~1MB) command-line executable with both the compiler and repl. On Windows, you don't even have to launch executable from the command line--it has a GUI-console.

Con
Still in beta
It mostly works. It's good enough for building usable applications, but some planned features are missing.

Pro
Very simple syntax
Red syntax is a lot like Rebol. It's easier than most languages for beginners to pick up.
See More
Top
Pro
Both low and high-level
Red has low enough access to do systems programming, but it's expressive enough for high-level scripting.
See More
Top
Pro
Low cognitive load
Red has very simple syntax that's easy to learn. It gets out of your way and lets you think about the problem instead, enhancing productivity.
