Cloudflare DNS pricing and limits
iScoreAuthoritative DNS on Cloudflare's anycast network, free with any plan and with no query charge at any volume.
Cloudflare DNS pricing at a glance
Who it suits
Any domain you are already putting behind Cloudflare. Authoritative DNS on its anycast network costs nothing, meters nothing, and has no volume at which that changes — the query bill other providers charge simply does not exist here.
Consider something else if…
You want DNS bought separately from a CDN and a proxy. Cloudflare prices DNS at zero because it is a way into the rest of the platform, and the product page names no paid DNS tier at all — what the account costs is decided by everything else on it.
