Think about images & Web Perf, Head of Customer Success at imgix, father of 2 littles, I use Nuxt, home brewer, painter, <3 Star Wars, Army Counterintelligence Vet Afghanistan ‘04 & Iraq ‘05.
imgix can certainly be cheaper alternative between the free and $99 tier at Cloudinary. 100% clarity here, I am an employee at imgix. That's being said, no one's paying me to convince people to leave Cloudinary's $99 plan and I think Cloudinary is a great service. imgix just has differing viewpoints on pricing and hosting; they will not host your images. You leave your images wherever they are and imgix connects (S3, GCS, web folder, proxy, etc). imgix makes you pay for unique master images with unlimited image renders. So if you want to have more than 2 renders (transformations) for a responsive design, then imgix will make more sense for you.
You also just pay for what you use each month ($10 minimum, sorry no free tier). So if you are outside Cloudinary's free tier and well below $99, it's a much cheaper idea. If you want to do a lot of transformations it's also a cheaper idea to go with imgix at the higher level tiers. We don't have tiers, but we do lower pricing for you as grow.
Hope this was helpful for you!
