A major reason for using Cloudflare is that you simply drop it in front of your web sites and get a free unmetered/uncapped caching reverse proxy reducing load on the servers.
If you use a host like OVH with unmetered/uncapped bandwidth and DDoS mitigation, it's less appealing.
Cloudflare's load balancing and steering is an expensive metered service which they draw you into using with the free web reverse proxy. rage4.com is really nice unmetered managed DNS and anycast routing alternative for region aware load distribution.

Transparent pricing without metering is really nice at any scale. You get that with providers like OVH, Hetzner, rage4, etc. for the most part. I'm omitting one that has a similar policy as Cloudflare when it comes to being willing to host despicable but borderline legal content.
