💳 Cloudflare AI Credits — Programs & Free Tiers

Browse Cloudflare startup credits and the Workers AI free tier in one place. Compare amounts, eligibility, and how to stretch your Cloudflare AI spend.

Cloudflare offers two main ways to offset costs: a Workers AI free tier (10,000 neurons/day) for ongoing experimentation, and Cloudflare for Startups credits in four tiers ($5K, $25K, $100K, $250K) for eligible companies. Credits can cover much of the Developer Platform, often with per-service caps. If you end up with unused credits, AI Credit Mart helps you buy or sell them at sizable discounts.

💳 About Cloudflare Credits

Cloudflare runs a global edge network and developer platform used for CDN, DNS, DDoS protection, WAF, and Zero Trust. On the compute side, Workers and Workers AI let you run apps and AI models close to users, with usage metered on pay-as-you-go pricing. Credits matter because they can offset security, networking, and AI inference costs that otherwise scale quickly.

What Cloudflare credit programs are available?

Cloudflare has five credit options listed here. For AI experimentation, Workers AI includes a free tier with 10,000 neurons per day (reset daily) and no time limit, useful for LLM calls, embeddings, and lightweight vision tasks. For startups, Cloudflare for Startups has four tiers: Bootstrapped ($5K), Growth ($25K), Seed ($100K), and High-Growth ($250K). These credits typically apply across the Cloudflare Developer Platform and may include enterprise-level domain benefits, with some caps by service depending on tier.

Can I sell unused Cloudflare credits?

Yes. If your company has Cloudflare credits you won’t use (for example, you changed infra plans or overestimated burn), you can list them on AI Credit Mart so other teams can buy them. Buyers get savings; you recover budget from idle credits.

How much discount can I get on Cloudflare credits?

On AI Credit Mart, Cloudflare credits commonly trade at about 40% to 40% off face value. The exact discount depends on demand, remaining time before expiry, transfer rules, and whether the credits are tied to a specific startup tier or usage scope.

How does the Cloudflare Workers AI free tier work (10,000 neurons/day)?

Workers AI gives you 10,000 free neurons per day, resetting at 00:00 UTC. Neurons are Cloudflare’s compute unit across model types (LLMs, embeddings, vision, speech). On the free Workers plan, you’ll hit a hard limit after the daily allowance. On the paid Workers plan (roughly $5/month), you still get the free 10,000 neurons and then pay for overflow. It’s best for steady testing, demos, and small production workloads with predictable daily usage.
