If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Cloudflare are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
Before you pay for Cloudflare
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: not published on the record we hold. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
Cloudflare runs on web, and is published by Cloudflare Inc of San Francisco, CA. The full record is on the Cloudflare review.
