Who it suits

Balancing across clouds you do not own. It is the only member here that markets balancing between AWS, GCP, Azure and on-premise servers, and at $5 a month it is also the cheapest entry.

Consider something else if…

You need to know what it costs at your volume. The price is quoted only as a starting figure on a plans page, and it is an add-on to a Cloudflare plan rather than a service you can buy on its own.

Multi-region replicationVendor-neutral by design: traffic is balanced between AWS, GCP, Azure and on-premise servers, with origin health monitored from multiple points across Cloudflare’s network. The other three members balance traffic only inside the cloud that sells them.
