Cloudflare is generally transparent with its pricing. However, users should understand that features beyond basic CDN and DNS are typically part of paid plans or separate add-ons. Common upsells include premium security features (like advanced WAF rules or Bot Management), specific performance optimizations (like Argo Smart Routing), or Load Balancing, which incur additional costs. These are not 'hidden' but are presented as upgrades to enhance or extend core services, not included in the base Free plan. Domain registration pricing through Cloudflare Registrar is straightforward wholesale cost, though prices vary by TLD due to registry fees.
