Workers Paid bundles 10 million requests and 30 million CPU milliseconds a month, then bills $0.30 per additional million requests and $0.02 per additional million CPU milliseconds. This brief adds the plan list prices checked November 2026, a dated change log, a worked cost model and the limits that quietly grow the bill. **How we compared, and who is writing.** BlazingCDN publishes this blog and is one of the providers compared in this article. Every price is the provider's own published list price at the stated volume, before negotiated discounts, read on the official pricing pages linked below; the check date stands next to each figure. Price tables are ordered by that list price, lowest first, and a price order is not a measurement of delivery quality. Treat the BlazingCDN figure like every other figure here: a published number to verify on your own traffic. Sources: [Cloudflare pricing](https://www.cloudflare.com/plans/), [bunny.net pricing](https://bunny.net/pricing/), [CDN77 pricing](https://www.cdn77.com/pricing), [KeyCDN pricing](https://www.keycdn.com/pricing), [Amazon CloudFront pricing](https://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/pricing/pay-as-you-go/), [Amazon CloudFront flat-rate pricing](https://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/pricing/), [**BlazingCDN pricing**](https://blazingcdn.com/pricing/). ## **How Cloudflare Queues pricing works: operations and retention** Queues bills one meter: operations. A write, a read and a delete of a message up to 64 KB are one operation each. Retries add reads, and a move to a dead letter queue adds a write. Retention sets how long an unconsumed message survives. The 2025 documentation lists no separate storage charge for a backlog, and no egress charge. | Queues meter (2025 documentation) | Entry Workers plan (no monthly fee) | Workers Paid ($5 a month) | | --- | --- | --- | | Included operations | 10,000 per day | 1 million per month | | Operations beyond the allowance | Not sold, hard daily cap | $0.40 per million | | Billing unit | Each 64 KB written, read or deleted | Each 64 KB written, read or deleted | | Message retention | 24 hours, fixed | 4 days by default, configurable up to 14 days | | Maximum message size | 128 KB | 128 KB | Message size and acknowledgement behavior, not message count, decide the Queues line on the invoice. Two consequences follow. A 100 KB message spans two 64 KB units, so its lifecycle costs six operations instead of three. Sending through the batch send call cuts producer invocations but not operations, because each message is still written, read and deleted individually. ## **What does Cloudflare Workers pricing include on the Paid plan?** Cloudflare Workers pricing on the Paid plan is a $5 monthly account fee that includes 10 million requests and 30 million CPU milliseconds, then $0.30 per million requests and $0.02 per million CPU milliseconds (developer documentation, 2025). Wall-clock duration is not billed, so time spent awaiting a fetch or a queue send adds nothing beyond the request. | Workers limit (2025 documentation) | Entry plan | Workers Paid | | --- | --- | --- | | Requests | 100,000 per day | 10 million a month included, then $0.30 per million | | CPU time per invocation | 10 ms | 30 seconds by default, configurable up to 5 minutes | | Subrequests per invocation | 50 | 1,000 | | Memory per isolate | 128 MB | 128 MB | | Worker size after compression | 3 MB | 10 MB | The jump from 10 ms to minutes of CPU per invocation moves production code to Workers Paid long before the request allowance runs out. Workers Paid is one account-level subscription, independent of any zone plan. KV, Durable Objects and R2 carry their own meters on top, so model them separately. ## **Cloudflare pricing changes, dated: 2024 to November 2026** Most changes to Cloudflare's developer-platform pricing landed in 2024 and 2025. The November 2026 check covers the zone plans. This blog has not confirmed a change to the Workers or Queues meters after 2025, so read the developer documentation before a budget cycle. - **March 2024:** all accounts moved to the Workers Standard usage model, billing requests and CPU time and retiring the Bundled and Unbound models, whose Unbound duration charge billed I/O wait. - **February 2025:** Queues became available on the entry Workers plan, with 10,000 operations a day and 24-hour retention. - **March 2025:** the maximum CPU time per invocation on paid plans rose from 30 seconds to 5 minutes, which made long-running batch consumers practical. - **November 2026 (plans page checked):** Pro $25 a month billed monthly or $20 billed annually; Business $250 billed monthly or $200 billed annually; Enterprise quote-based. The $200 Business figure in many older articles is the annual-billing rate. ### Plan fees are per domain, Workers Paid is per account Pro and Business are billed per zone, so ten domains on Business cost $2,500 a month billed monthly before any Workers usage. The entry zone plan carries basic CDN, DNS and protection; Pro and Business add security and performance features; Enterprise adds negotiated terms, data localization options and SLAs. Cloudflare's self-serve plans publish no per-GB delivery rate. The constraint is contractual: its Service-Specific Terms require Cloudflare's paid media or storage products to serve video or a disproportionate share of large files on non-Enterprise plans (checked November 2026). ## **Delivery costs: Cloudflare compared with high-volume CDNs** Workers and Queues have no egress meter, but heavy files fall under those terms. For video, installers or archives at 100 TB a month, the table is sorted by published list price at 100 TB, lowest first. | Provider | Published price at 100 TB a month | Billing model | Strength | Limitation | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | BlazingCDN | $415 (as of November 2026) | Progressive tiers, one rate for US, Europe and Asia | No request fees or regional multipliers | No edge compute, HTTP/3, WebSockets or WAF | | bunny.net (Volume network) | $500 (checked November 2026) | Per GB, $1 monthly minimum | $1 minimum suits small projects | Standard network in Europe and North America is $1,000 at 100 TB | | CDN77 | $990 (checked November 2026) | Flat plan up to 250 TB, overage $3.96 per TB | Same price anywhere up to 250 TB | One published plan, $990 even at lower volume | | KeyCDN | $2,600 (checked November 2026) | Per GB tiers, North America and Europe | Published pay-as-you-go tiers | Asia costs more | | Amazon CloudFront (pay as you go) | $6,965 transfer only (checked November 2026) | Per GB tiers plus request fees | Native to S3 and AWS billing | Requests billed on top | | Cloudflare Enterprise | Quote-based (checked November 2026) | Negotiated contract | Same platform as Workers, Queues and its WAF | No list price to check in advance | At 100 TB, published prices span $415 to $6,965 before requests, while Cloudflare's figure for this workload is a negotiation, not a list price. *Disclosure: BlazingCDN publishes this blog. The order above follows the stated key only and is not a quality ranking.* BlazingCDN is a delivery layer, not a peer of Cloudflare in platform breadth: it has no edge compute or queues, so it replaces neither Workers nor Queues. As of November 2026 it lists 100 TB at $415 on progressive tiers with no request fees, and the [**BlazingCDN vs Cloudflare comparison**](https://blazingcdn.com/vs/cloudflare/) covers the split where Workers keeps the API logic and heavy files move to a second CDN behind DNS with a weighted traffic split. ## **Worked cost model: 50 million messages a month** Our estimate, at the 2025 documentation rates. Assumptions: a webhook ingest Worker receives 50 million requests a month at 2 ms CPU each and sends one message under 64 KB per request; the consumer spends 5 ms CPU per message; 2% of messages are retried once. Consumer invocations are not counted as billed requests here; check whether they appear in your account's request meter. | Line item | Arithmetic | Monthly cost | | --- | --- | --- | | Workers Paid base | Flat account fee | $5.00 | | Requests | 50M minus 10M included = 40M at $0.30 per million | $12.00 | | CPU time | 100M plus 250M ms, minus 30M = 320M at $0.02 per million | $6.40 | | Queues operations | 50M writes, 51M reads, 50M deletes = 151M, minus 1M = 150M at $0.40 per million | $60.00 | | Total | Sum | $83.40 | Queues operations are 72% of this bill, so payload layout matters more than code efficiency. If the same events average 100 KB, every stage doubles: 301 million billable operations, $120.40 for Queues and $143.80 in total. If the producer packs about 20 events of 3 KB into one 60 KB message, the queue carries 2.5 million messages: 7.55 million operations, minus 1 million, is $2.62, and the month totals about $26. Packing to just under 64 KB is the largest lever in this model, taking $83.40 to about $26, a 69% cut. The trade-off is coarser retries: one failed message re-delivers 20 events, so consumers must be idempotent. ## **Where Workers and Queues bills grow, and how to confirm it** - **Batch retry storms.** Symptom: read operations run well above writes. Cause: a consumer that throws retries the whole batch, up to the configured maximum (3 by default), then writes to the dead letter queue. Confirm by comparing reads to writes in the queue metrics; fix with per-message acknowledgement and retry calls. - **Messages just over 64 KB.** Symptom: about 6 operations per message instead of 3. Cause: a 65 KB payload is two billing units. Confirm by logging serialized message size at the producer. - **CPU creep.** Symptom: CPU milliseconds grow faster than requests. Cause: parsing and re-serializing large JSON bodies on every hop. Confirm with p50 against p95 CPU time per invocation in Workers observability. - **Silent expiry.** Symptom: no cost spike, missing data. Cause: a consumer outage longer than retention, only 24 hours on the entry plan. Confirm with an alert on backlog age against the retention window. - **Zone plan sprawl.** Symptom: the plan line grows without traffic growth. Cause: per-domain Pro or Business fees. Confirm by counting zones on paid plans. ## **Which model fits: best fit by workload** Rows are ordered by monthly scale, then by constraint. | Workload | Fit | Threshold or reason | | --- | --- | --- | | Prototype, light routing | Entry Workers plan | Under 100,000 requests and 10,000 queue operations a day, 10 ms CPU | | Production API or event pipeline | Workers Paid | $5 base covers 10M requests and 1M operations | | Queue above 100M messages a month | Workers Paid with packed payloads | Budget $1.20 per million unpacked small messages | | File delivery up to 50 TB, within terms | Cloudflare Pro or Amazon CloudFront flat plans | $25 and $15 a month list prices, checked November 2026 | | Video, installers, archives at 100 TB and above | Cloudflare Enterprise, or bunny.net, CDN77 or BlazingCDN beside Workers | Quote-based against $415 to $990 published at 100 TB | | Regulated, data localization | Cloudflare Enterprise or Akamai | Both quote-based; localization is a contract term | | AWS-native team, S3 origin | Amazon CloudFront | Same account, IAM and billing | Compute and messaging stay on Cloudflare at almost any scale; heavy-file delivery is where the provider choice opens up. *Disclosure: BlazingCDN publishes this blog. The order above follows the stated key only and is not a quality ranking.* ## **When another provider fits better** - Up to 50 TB a month, flat plans cost less than BlazingCDN's $215 at 50 TB (as of November 2026): Amazon CloudFront Pro at $15 a month when 10 million requests carry the traffic (average response about 5 MB or larger), Cloudflare Pro at $25 for traffic its terms allow, and CloudFront Business at $200 between about 46 and 50 TB (checked November 2026). - Code or queues at the edge: Cloudflare, since BlazingCDN has no edge compute. - WAF, bot management and DDoS mitigation in one contract: Cloudflare, Fastly or Akamai. - HTTP/3 or WebSockets required: Cloudflare; BlazingCDN does not support them. - Under 5 TB a month: bunny.net, with a $1 minimum against BlazingCDN's $25. - S3 origin and an AWS-native team: Amazon CloudFront. ## **FAQ: Cloudflare Queues and Workers pricing** ### How much does Cloudflare Queues cost per million messages? Cloudflare Queues costs about $1.20 per million messages under 64 KB on Workers Paid, because each message is written, read and deleted once at $0.40 per million operations (developer documentation, 2025). Retries add reads, dead letter moves add writes, and messages above 64 KB count once per 64 KB chunk, so measure actual operations per message. ### Is Cloudflare Queues available without the Workers Paid plan? Yes, since February 2025 Cloudflare Queues runs on the entry Workers plan, which has no monthly fee, capped at 10,000 operations a day with 24-hour message retention. That is roughly 3,300 small messages a day. The tier has no overage option, so higher volume or retention up to 14 days requires the $5 Workers Paid plan. ### What are the Cloudflare Workers entry plan limits? The entry Cloudflare Workers plan allows 100,000 requests a day and 10 milliseconds of CPU time per invocation, with 50 subrequests and a 3 MB compressed Worker size, per 2025 developer documentation. It suits prototypes and light routing. Production code that parses large payloads or calls several APIs usually hits the CPU limit before the request limit. ### Does Cloudflare Workers pricing include bandwidth or egress charges? No egress meter applies to Cloudflare Workers: the Standard usage model bills requests and CPU time, and wall-clock time spent waiting on I/O is not billed. Large-file and video delivery through Cloudflare is governed by its Service-Specific Terms instead, which require paid media or storage products on non-Enterprise plans (checked November 2026). ### How much does Cloudflare Business cost in 2026? Cloudflare Business lists at $250 a month billed monthly or $200 a month billed annually, per domain, on the plans page checked November 2026. Pro lists at $25 monthly or $20 annually, and Enterprise is quote-based. Workers Paid is a separate $5 account-level subscription, so no zone plan covers Workers or Queues usage. ## **Measure operations per message before the next invoice** Pull 30 days of usage from the Cloudflare dashboard and divide total Queues operations by messages produced. A ratio near 3.0 is clean; 4 or more points at batch retries or payloads over 64 KB. Then log serialized message size at the producer, chart p95 CPU milliseconds per invocation against the 30-second default, and rerun the cost model above with packed payloads to see whether Queues stays a rounding error or becomes the largest line. If the same review shows heavy files leaving through a Cloudflare Enterprise contract, the [**BlazingCDN cost calculator**](https://blazingcdn.com/cdn-cost-calculator/) prices that delivery on progressive tiers from $5 per TB down to $2.50 per TB at volume, as of November 2026, for a side-by-side check against your quote.
