Cloudflare's free tiers are hard-free; they stop working if you exceed the free tier usage (at least for compute; storage is different).

Pages is essentially totally free. R2 is within the same pricing magnitude as S3. D1 is a very new product and afaik is still in beta and doesn't have production pricing yet; so be weary there. Zero Trust is less usage and more per-user, I think $7/mo/user.

Thanks! That's very helpful and sounds unlikely to get out of control (short of hosting a wildly popular video)

They definitely have sensible backout mechanisms for their free tiers (i.e. Pages, they still serve static assets but disable compute/Functions). Also, their docs are written pretty well, and openly hint at dangerous price traps.

We launched a big presale this year with an e-commerce app hosted on Workers, and we just barely hit the 5$ threshold for the paid plan. Did not use more services (other than DNS/proxy) though, so YMMV.

R2 has free egress meaning you don’t pay for bandwidth when serving your popular video

> be weary I've seen this mistake three or four times recently, and it's starting to make me wonder why I keep seeing it so often now, when I didn't before. "Wary" (like "beware") means "cautious"; "weary" (like to "wear" someone out) means "tired."

Once seen it cannot be unseen. Like things that peak your interest (should be "pique" your interest).

R2 storage might be within the same order of magnitude as S3, but once you start serving content to users, it becomes many orders of magnitude cheaper.
