What R2 Costs
From Cloudflare’s R2 pricing, October 2026.
Prices
| What | Standard | Infrequent Access |
|---|---|---|
| Storage | $0.015 a GB-month | $0.01 a GB-month |
| Class A operations (writes, lists) | $4.50 a million | $9.00 a million |
| Class B operations (reads) | $0.36 a million | $0.90 a million |
| Data retrieval | none | $0.01 a GB |
| Egress | free | free |
Egress is free from R2 itself, through the Workers API, the S3 API and r2.dev addresses.
The Free Tier
Every month, on Standard storage: 10 GB of storage, 1 million Class A operations and 10 million Class B operations.
An Example
100 GB of photos in Standard storage, with a few thousand uploads and reads a month: the first 10 GB are free, the other 90 GB cost 90 × $0.015 = $1.35 a month, and the operations stay inside the free tier. Downloading all 100 GB costs nothing more.
With Folder
A folder in your own Cloudflare is billed by Cloudflare at these prices; we never see the bill. Signed in at folder.dev, Settings › Your Cloudflare › Usage, Costs and Updates shows what your folders keep there, old versions included, and this month at R2’s list price. A folder on Folder is free with 5 GB and needs no Cloudflare account. See your Cloudflare and folders on Folder.
