Pricing behavior (not a price list)
These points describe when users typically pay more and what usage patterns trigger upgrades.
Actions that trigger upgrades
- Need broader enterprise governance and compliance integrations
- Need deeper data platform adjacency (analytics, ML pipelines) in a hyperscaler
- Need multi-cloud standardized governance patterns across many teams
What gets expensive first
- Your access pattern (requests + egress) determines economics more than storage size
- S3-compatibility gaps can surface with advanced lifecycle/replication requirements
- Edge-adjacent benefits depend on how your app and users route through Cloudflare
Plans and variants (structural only)
Grouped by type to show structure, not to rank or recommend SKUs.
Plans
- Pricing - Usage-based - Economics depend on requests and access pattern (verify on official pricing page)
- Compatibility - S3-compatible - Validate features you rely on (verify on official docs)
- Egress model - Network-driven - Model where reads come from and how traffic routes
Next step: constraints + what breaks first
Pricing tells you the cost cliffs; constraints tell you what forces a redesign.
