How much does a docs site cost on Workers static assets?
Scenario · workers
Search hits a Worker. Page views do not. Forty thousand searches at 6 ms, and the HTML itself is not in the request meter.
On the Free plan this model comes to $0.00. The other plan, with the same inputs, comes to $5.00. The 30-day month is the same length R2 uses in its storage example. Daily free caps are not monthly pools.
Static assets are the free path
A request that only returns a static asset is free and unlimited on both plans. Put HTML, CSS, and images there when they do not need Worker code. The request and CPU meters start when a Function or Worker runs, including a cache miss that invokes the Worker.
Read this before you trust the total
Free plan lines at $0 can still be an outage: error 1027, error 1102, or a D1 quota error. R2 above its monthly free tier is billed on both plans. Durable Object requests round up to the next million, as in Cloudflare's own Example 1, which bills 500,000 requests as 1 million.

$0.00 · Free
Free quotas for Workers, KV, D1, Queues, and Durable Objects reset at 00:00 UTC. A month that averages under the cap can still fail on one busy day. R2 is different: its free tier is monthly, and usage above it is billed on both plans.
Free cap 100,000 per day. This monthly total averages 1,333.333 per day across 30 days. The line is $0.00. The Free plan has no request overage price. Above 100,000 requests in a UTC day, Cloudflare returns error 1027. Requests served as static assets are free and unlimited, so they should not be included in this request count.
Published cap 10. The line is $0.00 because this Free meter is not billed as overage. Each Free plan invocation may use 10 ms of CPU. This line is not a monthly pool, and it is not billed.
Free cap 100,000 per day. This monthly total averages 1,333.333 per day across 30 days. The line is $0.00. Above the daily Free cap, further operations of that type fail. The pricing page does not publish a Free overage rate. The cap resets at 00:00 UTC.
Assumptions
- A 30-day month and steady traffic across it.
- Rates as published on 2026-10-25; taxes excluded.
- The Free plan does not bill Workers, KV, D1, Durable Objects or Queues. When a daily cap is reached, requests fail until 00:00 UTC instead of costing more.
