    Cloudinary is a digital assets management service targeted at developers and enterprises and not a file converter, which is the case for CloudConvert.

    Cloudinary has given up support on objective-c. Although swift is certainly going to replace objective-c over time; swift is still an infant platform. Some product owners don't want to take the risk. We had been using cloudinary for a long time but just because it does not support objective-c, we have opted to use uploadcare.

    Upload is very modern by comparison. Cloudinary has more features for video encoding, but Upload has more developer / power-user features, e.g. for limiting upload rate and traffic.

    We've been using Cloudinary for some time. It's fine, but it feels a bit dated (as the other comments have said). We looked around for alternatives last month: came across Filestack and Upload. Filestack was similar to Cloudinary. Upload looked nice and fresh. We've stuck with it for the last few weeks, no complaints yet. Biggest pro for us is the very quick customer support: Upload created a Slack channel for us, and helped with all the integration into our site's iOS app.

    ImageKit.io provides real-time image optimization and delivers optimized images across all platforms through its global CDN. It is easy to integrate with your website and you just need to pay as per your bandwidth usage. The pricing model is much cheaper than Cloudinary and integration, image manipulation, URL-based transformation, and image delivery, all processes are smooth & convenient.
