# Cloudflare pricing

Global CDN, edge compute, and security platform, publicly traded (NET), ~$50B market cap. Positioned as the alternative to AWS CloudFront + Akamai for developers who want simpler pricing and a stronger free tier. Distinctive for Workers (edge compute) and R2 (object storage) undercutting AWS S3 with zero egress fees. Free tier is genuinely production-grade for many projects. Priced $20/mo (Pro) to $200/mo (Business) plus per-usage overages.

## Current entry price

**$25/month** billed monthly. **$20/month** billed annually (save 20%).

## All tiers

| Plan | Monthly | Annual | Key limit |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Free | $0 | $0 | unlimited domains, basic DDoS/CDN |
| Pro | $25 | $20 | per domain, advanced security + WAF |
| Business | $250 | $200 | per domain, prioritized routing |
| Enterprise | custom | custom | dedicated support + SLA |

## Recommendation

In other words, Cloudflare is worth it for anyone running a website that wants free-tier DDoS protection + CDN + DNS — with Workers (edge compute) and R2 (S3-alternative storage) as paid upgrades if you go serverless. Free covers most personal + small-business sites; Pro adds WAF and page rules; Business adds prioritized routing and SSL flexibility; Enterprise custom. Very easy for DNS + CDN; steep for Workers and Zero Trust setup. Deep native integrations across the web stack. Downside: Workers pricing gets confusing (requests + CPU + KV storage separate), and support quality varies at lower tiers.

## Alternative to consider

Just want a CDN with zero setup? Vercel or Netlify bundle it. Enterprise WAF + DDoS focus? Akamai or AWS Shield.
