[Skip to content](#%5Ftop) # Pricing Note Workflows is included in both the Free and Paid [Workers plans](https://edgetunnel-b2h.pages.dev/workers/platform/pricing/#workers). Billing for Workflows steps and storage will apply [starting August 10th, 2026](https://edgetunnel-b2h.pages.dev/changelog/post/2026-07-07-workflows-billing-updates/). Workflows uses [Workers Standard pricing](https://edgetunnel-b2h.pages.dev/workers/platform/pricing/#workers) for CPU time and requests. Workflows are billed on four dimensions: * **CPU time**: the total amount of compute (measured in milliseconds) consumed by a given Workflow. * **Requests** (invocations): the number of Workflow invocations. [Subrequests](https://edgetunnel-b2h.pages.dev/workers/platform/limits/#subrequests) made from a Workflow do not incur additional request costs. * **Storage**: the total amount of storage (measured in GB) persisted by your Workflows. * **Steps**: the number of steps executed by your Workflows. A Workflow that is waiting on a response to an API call, paused as a result of calling `step.sleep`, or otherwise idle, does not incur CPU time. ### Workflows pricing | Unit | Workers Free | Workers Paid | | ------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Requests (millions) | 100,000 per day ([shared with Workers requests](https://edgetunnel-b2h.pages.dev/workers/platform/pricing/#workers)) | 10 million included per month + $0.30 per additional million | | CPU time (ms) | 10 milliseconds of CPU time per invocation | 30 million CPU milliseconds included per month + $0.02 per additional million CPU milliseconds | | Storage (GB-mo) | 1 GB | 1 GB included per month + $0.20/ GB-month | | Steps | 3,000 per day | 500,000 included per month + $0.80/ additional 100,000 per month | Cloudflare will not bill step and storage usage before the start date announced in the [Workflows billing changelog](https://edgetunnel-b2h.pages.dev/changelog/post/2026-07-07-workflows-billing-updates/). CPU limits You can increase the CPU limit available to your Workflow instances up to 5 minutes per Workflow by [setting the limits.cpu\_ms property](https://edgetunnel-b2h.pages.dev/workers/wrangler/configuration/#limits) in your Wrangler configuration. ### Storage Usage Storage is billed using gigabyte-month (GB-month) as the billing metric, identical to [Durable Objects SQL storage](https://edgetunnel-b2h.pages.dev/durable-objects/platform/pricing/#sqlite-storage-backend). A GB-month is calculated by averaging the peak storage per day over a billing period (30 days). * Storage is calculated across all instances, and includes running, errored, sleeping, and completed instances. * By default, instance state is retained for [3 days on the Free plan](https://edgetunnel-b2h.pages.dev/workflows/reference/limits/) and [30 days on the Paid plan](https://edgetunnel-b2h.pages.dev/workflows/reference/limits/). * When creating a Workflow instance, you can set a shorter state retention period if you do not need to retain state for errored or completed Workflows. Refer to the [retention option in WorkflowInstanceCreateOptions](https://edgetunnel-b2h.pages.dev/workflows/build/workers-api/#workflowinstancecreateoptions) for more information. * Deleting instances via the [Workers API](https://edgetunnel-b2h.pages.dev/workflows/build/workers-api/), [Wrangler CLI](https://edgetunnel-b2h.pages.dev/workers/wrangler/commands/workflows/#workflows), REST API, or dashboard will free up storage. It may take a few minutes for storage limits to update. An instance that attempts to store state when you have reached the storage limit on the Free plan will throw an error. ## Frequently Asked Questions Frequently asked questions related to Workflows pricing: ### Are there additional costs for Workflows? Yes. Workflows are priced based on the same compute (CPU time) and requests (invocations) as Workers, as well as storage (state from a Workflow) and steps. ### Are Workflows available on the [Workers Free](https://edgetunnel-b2h.pages.dev/workers/platform/pricing/#workers) plan? Yes. ### What is a Workflow invocation? A Workflow invocation is when you trigger a new Workflow instance: for example, via the [Workers API](https://edgetunnel-b2h.pages.dev/workflows/build/workers-api/), wrangler CLI, or REST API. Steps within a Workflow are not invocations. ### How do Workflows show up on my bill? Workflows are billed as Workers, and share the same CPU time and request SKUs. Workflows billing also includes storage and step usage. ### Are there any limits to Workflows? Refer to the published [limits](https://edgetunnel-b2h.pages.dev/workflows/reference/limits/) documentation. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","@id":"https://edgetunnel-b2h.pages.dev/workflows/reference/pricing/#page","headline":"Pricing ยท Cloudflare Workflows docs","description":"Cloudflare Workflows pricing based on CPU time, requests, storage, and steps, included in Workers Free and Paid plans.","url":"https://edgetunnel-b2h.pages.dev/workflows/reference/pricing/","inLanguage":"en","image":"https://edgetunnel-b2h.pages.dev/dev-products-preview.png","dateModified":"2026-07-07","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Cloudflare","url":"https://www.cloudflare.com/"},"isPartOf":{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://edgetunnel-b2h.pages.dev/#website","name":"Cloudflare Docs","url":"https://edgetunnel-b2h.pages.dev/"}} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/directory/","name":"Directory"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/workflows/","name":"Workflows"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"/workflows/reference/","name":"Platform"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"item":{"@id":"/workflows/reference/pricing/","name":"Pricing"}}]} ```
