Storage ($5 / 100,000 images stored / month), delivery ($1 / 100,000 images delivered / month), and transformations (first 5,000 unique transformations/month free, then $0.50 / 1,000 unique transformations/month). A unique transformation is billed per distinct parameter combination (e.g. same image at 100x100 and 200x200 counts as two). Storage/delivery charges apply only to images hosted in Cloudflare Images; transforming externally-hosted images is billed only under transformations.

The amount is not on the product page — it lives on the reseller’s storefront
Three plans are named and none is priced on the pricing page
The free route is genuinely free of licence fees but moves hosting, upgrades and support onto you
