Cloudflare Queues MVP = Workers Paid plan. Operations: 1,000,000 / month included, then $0.40 / million. One operation = each 64 KB written, read or deleted (KB = 1,000 bytes; ~100 bytes metadata per message). Ops are per message, not per batch. Typical delivery = 3 ops (write + read + delete): ((Messages × 3) − 1,000,000) / 1,000,000 × $0.40. Each retry = 1 extra read; a DLQ write = extra write; messages that expire unread = write + delete only. Queues: first 10,000 included, then $0.10 / queue-month. No egress / throughput charges. Free plan = 10k ops/day cap (note only). Workers Paid subscription and Workers CPU are out of scope — see Workers pricing. Smoke: 1M msgs/day × 30 × 3 = 90M ops → $35.60; 100M × 127 KB (2 chunks) × 3 = 600M ops → $239.60.

How it works
- How is Cloudflare Queues priced?
- On Workers Paid: 1,000,000 operations per month included, then $0.40 per million operations. Extra queues beyond 10,000 cost $0.10 per queue-month. No egress or throughput charges (as of 2026-11-03).
- What counts as an operation?
- Each 64 KB written, read or deleted (1 KB = 1,000 bytes, ~100 bytes metadata). Ops are per message, not per batch — a typical delivered message is 3 ops (write + read + delete).
- What are the worked smoke checks?
- 1M messages/day × 30 × 3 ops = 90M ops − 1M = 89M × $0.40/M = $35.60. 100M messages × 127 KB (2 chunks) × 3 ops = 600M ops − 1M = $239.60.
- How do retries and DLQs affect cost?
- Each retry adds a read; writing to a dead-letter queue adds a write; messages that expire unread incur only write + delete.
- Is the Workers Paid plan fee included?
- No. The Workers Paid subscription and Workers CPU are out of scope — see Workers pricing. The Free plan has a 10k ops/day cap (note only).
