Free Tier Details
Object storage with zero egress fees — 10 GB storage, 1M writes, 10M reads/month free. Standard storage beyond the free tier is $0.015 per GB-month, Class A operations $4.50 per million, Class B $0.36 per million. Standard has no egress or retrieval fee. Infrequent Access is $0.01 per GB-month, Class A $9.00 per million, Class B $0.90 per million, and retrieval $0.01 per GB. The free tier does not apply to Infrequent Access.
We read that on 2026-10-26 from https://developers.cloudflare.com/r2/pricing/, and our check recorded: the page names Cloudflare R2 as "cloudflare r2" and states "$0.015" and "$0.01" and "$4.50" and "$9.00".
Every account includes 100,000 R2 buckets; each additional bucket costs $0.10 a month. The allowance covers all storage classes, whatever your Workers plan. (From developers.cloudflare.com/r2/pricing, read 2026-10-31.)
Public bucket access through an r2.dev subdomain is for testing. It has a variable rate limit. For production, connect a custom domain to the bucket. (From developers.cloudflare.com/r2/platform/limits, read 2026-11-05.)
An R2 object can be up to 5 TiB. Single-part uploads can be up to 5 GiB, and multipart uploads can reach 4.995 TiB. (From developers.cloudflare.com/r2/platform/limits, read 2026-11-05.)
Infrequent Access storage has a 30-day minimum storage duration. An object deleted, moved or replaced sooner is charged for the full 30 days. (From developers.cloudflare.com/r2/pricing, read 2026-11-05.)
An R2 bucket can be created in the EU jurisdiction, which guarantees its objects are stored in the European Union. The jurisdiction is set when the bucket is created and cannot be changed afterwards. Location hints such as Western Europe are best effort, not a guarantee. (From developers.cloudflare.com/r2/reference/data-location, read 2026-11-06.)
We do not push notifications. Every change we record is readable the moment it lands, and the JSON answer carries an ETag — send it back as If-None-Match and an unchanged answer costs one 304.
