Moving from Cloudflare Workers to Vercel
A cost comparison and planning checklist. These are assessment steps, not vendor-specific migration instructions.
Cloudflare Workers
Edge compute with no data-transfer fee.
$5.00 / month
Standard
Official pricing · Checked 2026-10-05
Cost breakdown and exclusions
- Monthly subscription: $5.00
- Dynamic requests (10,000,000 included): $0
- Active CPU (30,000,000 included): $0
- Workers runtime compatibility must be checked. This model assumes no Workers Cache feature and no paid build service. The $5 account subscription also covers paid D1 access.
- KV, D1, R2, Durable Objects, queues, paid logs and build-service charges. Free plan daily limits are not modeled.
Vercel
Managed deployments with Fluid compute and CDN capacity tiers.
$20.00 / month
Pro · included CDN
Official pricing · Checked 2026-10-05
Cost breakdown and exclusions
- Monthly subscription: $20.00
- Active CPU: $0.36
- Provisioned memory: $1.06
- Function invocations: $0.60
- Fast origin transfer: $6.00
- Included monthly usage credit: -$8.02
- US East (iad1) compute and transfer rates. One deploying seat. $20 monthly usage credit offsets metered infrastructure, not the subscription. CDN tiers show steady-state cost; changes take effect next cycle.
- Paid build concurrency, image optimization, middleware, logs, databases, extra seats and optional add-ons. Hobby excludes commercial use and is not ranked.
Recurring cost difference
$180.00 higher over twelve months at unchanged usage.
Not calculated. Estimate migration labor, overlapping subscriptions, transfer charges and contract obligations before dividing those costs by any monthly savings.
What this comparison covers
A commercial web API with uncached dynamic requests, US compute, one deploying developer and standard builds. Runtime compatibility, concurrency and performance must be assessed separately. No databases, image transformations, middleware, premium logs or other add-ons.
Evaluating 2 products from 5 published in this category. USD monthly equivalents, before tax. Features and service compatibility need separate evaluation.
- Dynamic requests
- 1,000,000 requests / month
- CPU time per request
- 10 milliseconds / request
- Provisioned memory
- 100 GB-hours / month
- Data sent to visitors
- 100 GB / month
- Production deployments
- 20 deployments / month
Before you move
- This is a readiness assessment, not a verified vendor migration procedure.
- Use the source pricing and plan documentation: https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/platform/pricing/
- Use the target pricing and plan documentation: https://vercel.com/docs/pricing
- Obtain the account permissions, data-owner approvals and tested backups needed for your chosen transfer method.
Modeled recurring cost
Cloudflare Workers: $5.00/month
Vercel: $20.00/month
Cloudflare Workers costs $15.00 less per month than Vercel at this workload. This compares modeled charges, not overall product quality.
Requirements
Standard
Pro · included CDN
Test build output, runtime APIs, background work, persistent storage and custom-domain support against the target's documentation.

Questions before you decide
Does a lower monthly estimate mean the migration pays for itself?
Not calculated. Estimate migration labor, overlapping subscriptions, transfer charges and contract obligations before dividing those costs by any monthly savings.
Is this a guaranteed migration procedure?
No. This assessment identifies decisions to verify with official provider documentation. It does not establish interoperability, data portability, zero downtime or a rollback guarantee.
