Cloudflare cost calculator
Cloudflare’s published pricing is spread across a plan table, four developer-platform products and a set of add-ons that are each billed differently. Set your usage below and get one itemised bill, with the free-tier allowances already deducted.
Quick Answer
Cloudflare costs $0/month on Free, $25/month on Pro ($20 billed annually), $250/month on Business ($200 annually), and from $5,000/month on Enterprise. The base plan is rarely what you actually pay: Workers is $5/month including 10M requests then $0.30 per additional million, R2 is $0.015/GB/month with free egress, and D1 is $5/month including 25M reads. Bot Management is Enterprise-only at $1,000-$5,000/month and is the line item that most often surprises people.

R2 egress saving vs AWS S3
500GB of egress costs $0 on R2. The same egress on S3 at the published $0.09/GB rate is $45/mo ($540/yr). Free egress is the single biggest reason data-heavy apps move to Cloudflare.
List prices only. Included free-tier allowances are deducted before overage. Enterprise pricing is negotiated and shown at its published floor. Cloudflare bills per domain on Pro and Business, so multiply the plan line by your domain count. Full breakdown and real bills at six scales: Cloudflare cost in 2026.
The base plan is not where the money goes
The most common Cloudflare deployment in 2026 costs $0. A small business marketing site doing 300,000 visits a month sits on the free plan and gets unlimited bandwidth, a global CDN, SSL and DNS without paying anything. That is why comparing Cloudflare on plan price alone tells you almost nothing. Where bills actually grow is the developer platform: Workers request overage past the included 10 million, D1 read overage past the included 25 million, Workers KV write volume at $5 per million, and Enterprise add-ons. Our full Cloudflare cost guide walks six real bills from a $0 personal blog to a $180K-$600K/year enterprise contract.
Free egress is the whole argument
R2 charges nothing to serve data out. AWS S3’s published rate is $0.09/GB and Vercel’s is $0.40/GB past the first terabyte. For anything media-heavy, that single line dominates the comparison and is usually worth more than every other price difference combined — toggle R2 on above and set your monthly egress to see the gap on your own numbers. The trade-off runs the other way on developer experience, which is the case the Vercel cost guide makes in detail.
Infrastructure is one line of a build budget
A $17/month Workers bill sits underneath a project that cost tens of thousands to build. If you are scoping the build rather than the hosting, the project cost calculator prices the whole thing — design, development, integrations and timeline — against 600+ project quotes and public rate benchmarks, and infrastructure is one line inside it.
Cloudflare pricing — FAQ
How much does Cloudflare cost per month in 2026?
Cloudflare costs $0/month on the Free tier, $25/month on Pro ($20/month billed annually), $250/month on Business ($200/month annually), or negotiated Enterprise pricing that starts around $5,000/month. For most small business sites the answer is genuinely $0 — the free tier includes unlimited bandwidth, global CDN, SSL and DNS. Real spend on growing sites comes from the developer platform (Workers, R2, D1, KV) and Enterprise add-ons like Bot Management, not from the base plan.
Is the Cloudflare free tier actually free?
Yes. It is a permanent free plan, not a trial. It includes unlimited bandwidth, the global CDN across 300+ data centres, Universal SSL, DNS, basic DDoS protection, 5 firewall rules, Pages hosting and 100,000 Workers requests per day. A 300K-visitor-per-month marketing site can run on it indefinitely at $0.
How is Cloudflare Workers pricing calculated?
Workers costs $5/month, which includes 10 million requests and 30 million ms of CPU time. Requests past that included allowance are $0.30 per additional million. So 50 million requests per month is $5 base plus 40 million overage at $0.30/M, or $17/month total. The free tier alternative gives you 100,000 requests per day at no cost.
Why is Cloudflare R2 cheaper than AWS S3?
R2 charges $0 for egress. S3 charges $0.09/GB at its published rate. Storage itself is comparable ($0.015/GB/month on R2), and R2 bills $4.50 per million Class A operations (writes and lists) and $0.36 per million Class B operations (reads). For a data-heavy application serving 500GB per month, egress alone is the difference between $0 and roughly $45/month — which is why free egress, not storage price, is the reason teams migrate.
Does Cloudflare charge per domain?
Yes, on the Pro and Business plans the fee is per domain, so five domains on Pro is 5 x $25 = $125/month, not $25. Enterprise contracts are negotiated across an account rather than per domain. The developer platform products (Workers, R2, D1, KV) bill on account-level usage instead of per domain.
What is not included in Cloudflare Pro or Business?
Bot Management is the big one — it is an Enterprise-tier add-on typically running $1,000-$5,000/month and is not available on Pro or Business. Magic Transit (network-layer DDoS protection) is Enterprise only at $5,000-$50,000/month. Argo Smart Routing is a paid add-on at $5/month plus $0.10/GB on any plan. Cloudflare One (Zero Trust) is a separate product at $7-$10 per user per month.
Where do these prices come from?
Every rate in this calculator is a published Cloudflare list price, documented with its source in our Cloudflare cost guide. The calculator deducts included free-tier allowances before charging overage, so the figure it returns is the real bill rather than a gross-usage approximation. It does not model negotiated Enterprise discounts, which are private by definition.
