Cloudflare Workers pricing
Cloudflare · Edge FaaS (request + CPU-ms) · snapshot captured June 2026
Cloudflare Workers is priced as edge faas (request + cpu-ms). Workers Paid: $5/mo minimum, includes 10M requests + 30M CPU-ms; then $0.30 per additional 1M requests and $0.02 per additional 1M CPU-ms. Billed on CPU time (not wall-clock), so I/O wait is free. No egress charges. It scales to zero, so you pay nothing while idle. Egress: No egress/bandwidth charges at all.

Worked example
A small API doing 1,000,000 requests/month, each running ~200 ms at 256 MB of memory (≈50,000 GB-seconds/month):
Cloudflare Workers is not billed per request — it uses edge faas (request + cpu-ms), so a per-request figure is not comparable. Workers Paid: $5/mo minimum, includes 10M requests + 30M CPU-ms; then $0.30 per additional 1M requests and $0.02 per additional 1M CPU-ms. Billed on CPU time (not wall-clock), so I/O wait is free. No egress charges. Use the platform's own model for this workload.

Cost pros & cons
Where Cloudflare Workers saves money
- No egress/bandwidth charges, ever
- Bills CPU time not wall-clock, so I/O-bound functions are very cheap
- Near-zero cold start (V8 isolates) and global edge by default
Watch-outs
- $5/mo minimum on the Paid plan even at low volume
- CPU-ms model is unusual and limits long-running compute
- Free plan caps CPU at 10 ms/invocation

Does Cloudflare Workers scale to zero?
Yes — Cloudflare Workers scales to zero, so you pay nothing while it is idle (you are billed only for actual usage). Free plan: 100,000 requests/day (~3M/month) with up to 10 ms CPU per invocation.
What does Cloudflare Workers charge for egress?
No egress/bandwidth charges at all. Egress is one of the most overlooked serverless costs, so model your outbound data when comparing platforms.

Figures are a dated snapshot from Cloudflare's pricing page (snapshot captured June 2026). The worked example is a transparent calculation over those inputs (see methodology). Serverless pricing is volatile and varies by region, memory tier and discounts — verify current prices on the vendor's page before relying on them. This is an informational comparison, not a quote.
