# Cloudflare Pages review (2026): is the free plan enough? > Git-based hosting for static sites and full-stack apps Checked Nov 12, 2026 ยท graded Nov 12, 2026 by ToolGPA. Cloudflare Pages builds and deploys sites from a Git repository or by direct upload, serving them from Cloudflare's network. Static asset requests are free and unlimited on every plan, and server-side code runs as Pages Functions billed as Workers requests. Cloudflare's own docs now say Workers supports most Pages use cases and that new projects should start there. - **Category:** Web Hosting - **Made by:** Cloudflare - **Website:** https://www.cloudflare.com/products/pages/ - **Runs on:** Web - **Who should skip it:** Skip it if you want a dynamic app on the free allowance, since Functions run on Workers billing. - **Facts last checked:** Nov 12, 2026 ## Pricing As of Nov 12, 2026, Cloudflare Pages has a free plan, and paid plans start at $5 per month (Workers Paid, for Pages Functions usage). - **Pricing model:** Free plan - **Free plan:** Unlimited static requests and bandwidth, 500 builds a month, 20,000 files per site, 100 projects, and Functions requests counted against 100,000 a day. - **Free trial:** None listed. | Plan | Price | What you get | | --- | --- | --- | | Free | $0 | 1 build at a time, 500 builds a month, unlimited preview deployments, and Functions within the Workers Free limit of 100,000 requests a day. | | Workers Paid | $5 per month minimum per account | Raises the Functions allowance to 10 million requests a month, shared with Workers. Static asset requests are free either way. | Read from https://developers.cloudflare.com/pages/functions/pricing/ on Nov 12, 2026. Prices change, so confirm with Cloudflare Pages before buying. ## Key features - **Git and direct upload deploys:** Each push to a connected GitHub or GitLab repository triggers a build, and sites can also be deployed by direct upload or the CLI. - **Preview deployments:** The limits page says projects can have an unlimited number of preview deployments active at once. - **Pages Functions:** Server-side code runs as Functions, with bindings to Workers KV and Durable Objects, and is billed as Workers requests. - **Free static bandwidth:** The pricing docs say static asset requests are free and unlimited on both free and paid plans. - **Rollbacks and custom domains:** The docs list rollbacks, custom domains, redirects and headers files, deploy hooks and branch deployment controls. - **REST API:** A REST API is documented for managing Pages projects and deployments. ## Good for - Static sites and front-end apps that want free bandwidth - Developers already using Cloudflare DNS and Workers - Personal and small projects within the free build limits ## Worth knowing - Cloudflare's docs say Workers supports most Pages use cases and recommend starting new projects on Workers. - The Free plan allows 500 builds a month, one at a time, with a 20-minute build timeout; Pro and Business raise this to 5,000 and 20,000. - A single site asset can be at most 25 MiB, and a Pages account is limited to 100 projects. - Functions usage is billed through a Workers plan, so dynamic apps are not covered by the free static allowance. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 2.8 out of 4**, graded Nov 12, 2026. Cloudflare Pages serves static sites with free, unlimited bandwidth on the free plan. But Cloudflare's own docs recommend starting new projects on Workers, the free plan allows 500 builds a month, and dynamic code is billed through a Workers plan. - **Value for money: A.** Free with no bandwidth charge for static requests, and the paid add-on is $5 a month, under the category's cheaper quarter of $5.28. - **Free plan and trial: B.** 500 builds a month, 100 projects and unlimited preview deployments, one build at a time. One person can live on it; Functions are capped at 100,000 requests a day. - **Features: C.** Git and upload deploys, previews, Functions, rollbacks and a REST API. The gaps: docs point new projects to Workers, assets are capped at 25 MiB and dynamic apps aren't covered by the free allowance. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. You connect a repo, set a build command and manage domains, so there's setup work. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web only, but with GitHub, GitLab, Workers KV, Durable Objects, R2 and a REST API.

What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call. It costs $60 a year. - You could make: It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too. - You could not: Speed tests run from real browsers on a schedule. - You could not: It plugs into other products, GitHub, GitLab and Workers KV among them, and has an API.
