The Cloudflare WAF Free plan is, as the name suggests, free of charge. The Pro plan is a paid subscription, with pricing typically per website per month. The cost is justified by the significant increase in security features (advanced WAF rules, bot management, IP reputation), enhanced performance optimizations, dedicated support, and more detailed analytics, which collectively contribute to better website security, uptime, and user experience.
