cdnjs vs KeyCDN
Both stand on cdn software. Which one you can start free with, which one lets you read the code, and what each costs once you pay.
Free plan APIWeb
Choose cdnjs if a library you need is in its community catalog and you want to include it with a script or link tag. Its free access, SRI hashes, and unauthenticated API are useful for web projects. Look elsewhere if your project needs arbitrary libraries that are not part of the curated catalog.
