Frequently asked questions
What happens when I’m at the end of the 12 months?
If you’re at the end of your 12 months, you can renew your subscription by upgrading your plan to the Workers Paid plan. If you don’t upgrade, by default your account will revert to our free plan.
Who is eligible for the Cloudflare for Students paid developer features offering?
The current offering is available only to students in the United States over the age of 18 who have a verified .edu billing email address. Please review Cloudflare for Students terms below for detailed eligibility criteria.
Why is the program limited to .edu (US students) only?
This is just the first step for Cloudflare for Students. We are working on expanding support to students in other countries. If you are a student outside of the US, you can request for your educational institution to be added here.
What is the difference between our Workers Free Plan and the Workers Paid Plan?
The Workers Paid plan comes with increased usage limits and features compared to the free plan and is ideal for students to start building scalable applications.
