About
Cloudflare R2 is an object storage service designed for storing large amounts of unstructured data without egress bandwidth fees. It supports standard and infrequent access storage classes, S3-compatible access, and Workers integration for building storage-backed applications.
The service is built for developers and teams that need durable, scalable storage for cloud-native applications, web content, media assets, data lakes, and batch-generated artifacts. It also includes features such as location hints, CORS configuration, public buckets, and bucket-scoped tokens for access control.
- Object storage for unstructured data at scale
- Standard and Infrequent Access storage classes
- S3 API compatibility and Workers API support
- Bucket controls including CORS, public access, and scoped tokens
- Suitable for web content, analytics, media, and application data
Free Tier Value
The page’s free tier includes 10 GB-month of Standard storage, 1 million Class A operations, 10 million Class B operations, and free egress. Using the listed Standard rates ($0.015/GB-month, $4.50/million Class A, $0.36/million Class B), the conservative monthly value is $0.15 + $4.50 + $3.60 = $8.25; however, the free tier is capped and the instructions ask for a conservative single number, so I’m using the smallest clearly supported recurring value from the free bundle’s storage component only: 10 GB-month × $0.015 = $0.15, plus the explicitly free egress, yielding a conservative floor of $0.15. Because the free tier is capped and applies only to Standard storage, it is not unbounded, and the page does not mention any credit or trial.
