CloudFlare Early Bird Discount Is Back

justyy (82)in #cloudflare • last year

Last year, the CloudFlare annouced the price increase from next month (May 2023). I sent them email asking about early bird discount ($20 first domain, and $5 afterwards). They replied it (early bird discount) will be discontinued.

However, recently I got the email which confirms that it will stay the same - which is a good news, as I have 3 domains which are early bird $5x3=$15. I can't afford the full price - and will have to switch to Free Plan if one domain is at $20.

Recently, CloudFlare sent an email regarding the prices of the early bird:

You currently benefit from a plan type we refer to as “Professional (Early Bird) Plan” or “Early Bird Pro”. This plan type was offered in the early days of Cloudflare and provides you with all the functionality of the “normal” Pro plan but you only paid the full price of $20/month for the first domain and for additional domains you paid $5/month.
Last November we announced that the pricing for Pro plans was changing but we didn’t explain if or how this might impact your special Early Bird Pro plan type. Here’s how Early Bird Bird plans will be impacted:

Starting May 15, 2023 the monthly price of your first domain on an Early Bird Pro plan will increase from $20/month to $25/month but your discounted price of $5/month for all additional domains on the Early Bird Pro plan will stay the same.

Lastly, as the pricing chart above outlines, if you switch to an annual subscription the effective monthly price you pay for your first domain on an Early Bird Pro plan won’t change. For a detailed guide on updating your plan’s billing cycle (plan duration) visit Cloudflare Docs.

This is good, which means that I can keep four Pro domains by only $35 subscription per month.

Here are four reasons/advantages of using CloudFlare Pro.
