Cloudflare’s free tier covers a surprisingly wide range of developer infrastructure — compute, storage, AI, queuing, and more — all at no cost.
Here is the full breakdown of what the free plan includes:
- 100,000 Workers requests per day
- Unlimited static asset requests
- 100,000 Durable Object requests per day, with 28 hours of runtime daily
- Agents SDK access built on top of Durable Objects
- Zero egress fees across the board
- 10GB R2 object storage plus millions of included requests
- 5GB D1 database storage, 5 million reads per day, and 100,000 writes per day
- 3,333 queue messages per day
- 100,000 Workflow requests per day with 1GB storage (shared with Workers allocation)
- Workers AI usage included, with limits varying by model
- AI Gateway at no cost
- Email Routing at no cost
- 100,000 Hyperdrive queries per day
- 5,000 image transformations per month
- KV storage: 1GB with 100,000 reads and 1,000 writes per day
- 5 million vectors stored plus 30 million queries per month
- AI Search functionality via the R2 and Vectorize free tiers
The free plan covers enough ground to take a project from prototype to early production without incurring infrastructure costs. The combination of compute, database, object storage, vector search, and AI tooling under one free account is notable for solo developers and small teams working within tight budgets.
For teams that outgrow these limits, Cloudflare offers a Workers Paid plan at $5 per month, which raises caps across the board with competitive usage-based pricing beyond that threshold.
Yes. The free tier includes Workers AI with usage limits that vary depending on the model used, AI Gateway at no cost, and AI Search functionality built on the R2 and Vectorize free tiers. These are available without a paid subscription.
The free plan covers daily and monthly caps across compute, storage, and requests. The Workers Paid plan costs $5 per month and raises those limits, with usage-based pricing that applies once you exceed the higher thresholds.
No. Cloudflare does not charge egress fees on the free plan, which applies to data transferred out from services, including R2 object storage.
The free plan supports enough capacity — including Workers, D1, R2, queuing, and KV storage — to take a project through prototyping and into early production stages. Scaling beyond the included limits requires upgrading to the paid plan.
