Production-ready application running on 100% free infrastructure
ProposalForge's total hosting cost for unlimited users and proposals
ProposalForge leverages Cloudflare's generous free tier across their entire platform to deliver enterprise-grade infrastructure at zero cost. By architecting the application specifically for edge computing, we achieve world-class performance without spending a penny.
Cloudflare's free tier is more than generous for most applications:
100,000 Worker requests per day
100,000 database reads per day
50,000 database writes per day
Unlimited bandwidth and page views
10GB R2 object storage
5GB D1 database storage
Unlimited static asset storage
Enough for: 40,000+ PDF proposals
< 1ms Worker cold start
< 50ms global TTFB
300+ edge locations
99.99% uptime SLA
500 builds per month
Unlimited preview deployments
Built-in CI/CD pipeline
Real-time logs and analytics
Estimated monthly costs for serving 10,000 users:
Cloudflare already runs 20% of the world's web traffic. Adding your app costs them nearly nothing.
Free tier attracts developers who eventually upgrade or recommend Cloudflare to employers.
Cloudflare makes money from enterprise customers. Free tier is marketing, not charity.
V8 isolates are so lightweight that thousands can run on a single server cost-effectively.
Based on typical ProposalForge usage:
ProposalForge would only need paid plans if you exceed these thresholds:
More than 100,000 Worker requests per day = $5/mo for 10 million requests
More than 10GB of PDFs stored = $0.75/GB/month (still cheaper than S3)
Enterprise features like dedicated IPs, custom WAF rules, or priority support
Custom domains are FREE—no upgrade needed for branding!
Is this too good to be true? No—here's why it's sustainable:
Cloudflare has maintained these free tiers since 2017 and consistently expanded them.
Free tier drives enterprise adoption. Cloudflare's revenue grows while keeping free tier stable.
Developers learn Cloudflare on free tier, then use it professionally at companies.
Generous limits prevent abuse while supporting legitimate use cases like ProposalForge.
Unlike other "free" platforms, Cloudflare has NO hidden costs:
ProposalForge demonstrates that production-quality applications can run at zero cost without sacrificing performance, security, or scalability. By leveraging modern edge computing and choosing the right architecture, you can build and deploy professional applications that would have cost hundreds of dollars per month just a few years ago.
