Tool profile
Frontend hosting platform for static sites and full-stack apps with edge deployment.
Marketing sites and docs on static generators (Next export, Hugo, Astro)
Cloudflare Pages deploys static sites and SSR/Functions-backed frontends from Git (GitHub/GitLab), with previews per commit and integration with Cloudflare Workers for dynamic routes.
Per pages.cloudflare.com (March 2026), Free is $0 with 1 build at a time, 500 builds per month, 100 custom domains per project, unlimited sites, unlimited static requests, and unlimited bandwidth on the marketing plan card. Pro is $20/month billed annually or $25/month billed monthly, adding 5 concurrent builds, 5,000 builds/month, and 250 custom domains per project with the same unlimited request/bandwidth positioning. Business lists $200/month annually / $250/month monthly with 20 concurrent builds, 20,000 builds/month, and 500 custom domains per project.
Workers invocations and KV/R2 dependencies bill under their respective products—Pages alone is not the entire invoice if you add serverless depth. Compare Netlify or Vercel for developer experience tradeoffs; compare GitHub Pages for zero-cost static hosting without Cloudflare’s edge features.
Quick fit
Editorial take
Build minutes and concurrency are the practical limits—huge monorepos can exhaust 500 builds/mo faster than bandwidth. Cross-product billing sneaks in when Functions talk to R2/KV/D1. Compare build concurrency directly with Netlify/Vercel quotes. For alternatives, GitHub Pages is simpler but less flexible; S3+CloudFront shifts ops burden to you.
