I don't think they would. Or at least, the costs would still be tiny.

Like Panic, my company mostly sells desktop apps. We're smaller than Panic, but we still have a considerable quantity of downloads each day. We use AWS S3 + AWS CloudFront to host our app downloads, and the cost is so small as to be irrelevant to my business.

It’s possible I’m over exaggerating. Some of the AWS service price gouging grinds my gears.

S3 and Fastly (or some other very inexpensive CDN) would be fine.

You're not really.

My costs: $799 dedicated on 1gbps connection (overkill)

AWS Costs: $6000+

AWS is simply impossible for me.
