Cloudflare AI Gateway pricing

• Hard capCore (your own provider keys) stops at its limits rather than billing more.

At the limit

Stops at the limit

• Core features are free on all plans: dashboard analytics, caching and rate limiting. You need a Cloudflare account.
• You pay each AI provider directly with your own key, so there is no gateway fee on tokens.
• Limit of 10 gateways per account on the free plan and 20 on a paid plan.
• Logs: accounts that created their first gateway on or after September 24, 2026 store logs in Workers Logs and follow its pricing. Older accounts use Legacy Logs, capped at 100,000 logs on the Workers Free plan and 10 million per gateway on Workers Paid.
• Guardrails are billed as Workers AI inference. DLP scanning is free. Logpush exports are billed at Logpush rates.

Bills for extra usage

Usage pricing

• AI model spend: $0.05 per USD

• Instead of keeping separate provider accounts, you buy credits from Cloudflare. A 5% fee applies to credits purchased, so a $100 purchase is charged as $105.
• Provider token prices are passed through with no markup.
• Requests using Cloudflare-managed credentials are limited to 200 requests per 60 seconds per gateway, with 429 errors above that. The limit does not apply when you use your own provider keys.
