Stop Cloudflare Billing Surprises

Cloudflare offers limited billing controls through their dashboard for some services. CostGoat adds proactive spending alerts on top — set custom thresholds per service (Workers, R2, D1) and get desktop notifications before costs exceed your limit.

Cloudflare has basic billing notifications, but they're limited in customization. CostGoat lets you set granular alerts per service with custom thresholds, so you're notified before costs spike — not after.

Common surprises include Workers invocations exceeding free tier limits, R2 Class A/B operation charges, D1 row reads at scale, and egress from non-R2 services. CostGoat tracks all usage-based charges so you see costs building up before they become a surprise on your invoice.

It depends on your usage. The free plan covers basic CDN, DNS, and limited Workers. Paid plans start at $20/month (Pro) or $200/month (Business). Usage-based services like Workers, R2, and D1 add variable costs on top. CostGoat tracks your actual spending in real-time.

You can check usage in the Cloudflare dashboard under each service's analytics tab, but this requires logging in and checking each service separately. CostGoat shows all your Cloudflare costs in one place from your menu bar — no browser required.
