How do I set a billing limit on Cloudflare?

Cloudflare offers limited billing controls through their dashboard for some services. CostGoat adds proactive spending alerts on top. Set custom thresholds per service (Workers, R2, D1) and get desktop notifications before costs exceed your limit.

Does Cloudflare have billing alerts?

Cloudflare has basic billing notifications, but they're limited in customization. CostGoat lets you set granular alerts per service with custom thresholds, so you're notified before costs spike, not after.

What are Cloudflare's hidden costs?

Common surprises include Workers invocations exceeding free tier limits, R2 Class A/B operation charges, D1 row reads at scale, and egress from non-R2 services. CostGoat tracks all usage-based charges so you see costs building up before they become a surprise on your invoice.

How much does Cloudflare cost per month?

It depends on your usage. The free plan covers basic CDN, DNS, and limited Workers. Paid plans start at $20/month (Pro) or $200/month (Business). Usage-based services like Workers, R2, and D1 add variable costs on top. CostGoat tracks your actual spending in real-time.

How do I check my Cloudflare usage?

You can check usage in the Cloudflare dashboard under each service's analytics tab, but this requires logging in and checking each service separately. CostGoat shows all your Cloudflare costs in one place from your menu bar, with no browser required.

How to Check Your Cloudflare Usage and Bill

Want to check your Cloudflare charges manually? Here is where to find your plan costs and metered usage in the dashboard.

Go to dash.cloudflare.com and sign in to the account you want to review.

Open Manage Account, then Billing

This shows your current plan and the charges on your account, including your Pro or Business subscription.

Check each product's Analytics or Usage page

Open a product like Workers or R2 and view its Analytics or Usage tab to see the metered usage driving your bill.
