# Cloudflare opens Logpush to free plans — with 25GB allowances and pay-as-you-go export Cloudflare has made Logpush and SQL-based Logpush Transformers self-service on Free, Pro and Business accounts, replacing an Enterprise-only access barrier with included monthly allowances and metered overages. The separate prices for internal export, external export and transformation matter for small operators. Cloudflare's logs are no longer an Enterprise-only export capability. Small sites can send 25GB a month to internal destinations and another 25GB externally before overage charges, but destination costs and separate Workers/OTel meters still matter. - Status: Active - Published: 2026-10-11T09:00:05+13:00 - Updated: 2026-10-11T09:00:05+13:00 - Categories: Cloud & Infrastructure, Edge & CDN, Observability - Tags: Cloudflare, logs, Observability, pricing - Canonical HTML: https://beyondthe.news/dossiers/cloudflare-logpush-free-pro-business-usage-pricing-transformers ## What changed On September 30, 2026, Cloudflare extended Logpush to Free, Pro and Business accounts with self-service usage-based billing, while Enterprise customers continue under account-managed contracts. Logpush Transformers, which filter, redact, enrich and reshape logs with SQL before delivery, also became generally available. This changes both eligibility and operating economics for exporting edge traffic and security logs to storage or analytics systems. ## Why it matters A small SaaS or independently run website can now preserve and analyse its own raw Cloudflare request/security logs without buying Enterprise. That helps investigate incidents, build independent analytics and retain evidence. But exports are not unlimited or universally free: each meter has its own allowance, and destination storage and processing remain separately billable. ## Three different meters, not one flat log price Cloudflare measures internal exports, external exports and transformation separately, with separate included amounts. In its published example, 40GB internal, 60GB external and 5GB transformed yields $4.11 in Cloudflare Logpush usage charges before destination charges. A transformed pipeline can be billed for both its input and its output. ## The practical unlock for small operators Previously Enterprise-only log delivery can now feed R2, storage services and third-party observability systems from a Free account. The new Transformers capability can filter sensitive or noisy records at the edge before export, potentially reducing downstream cost and privacy exposure, although actual economics depend on the transformation and destination. ## The exceptions matter Workers Trace Events and OpenTelemetry exports have distinct pricing and eligibility. Enterprise contracts continue through renewal; do not extrapolate these GB rates to all Cloudflare observability products or all dataset access. ## Key details - The change was announced September 30, 2026; Logpush is self-service on Free, Pro and Business plans, while Enterprise contracts remain individually managed. - Internal destinations (R2 and Pipelines): 25GB per account per month included, then $0.03 per additional GB. - External destinations: a separate 25GB per account per month included, then $0.10 per additional GB. - Logpush Transformers: 1GB input per account per month included, then $0.04 per additional GB processed. - Charges use uncompressed bytes successfully delivered for exports and uncompressed input bytes for transformation; the same job can incur both meters. - R2, Pipelines and other receiving services can charge separately; Enterprise contracts retain current Logpush terms until renewal. - Workers Trace Events Logpush retains separate request-based pricing; OpenTelemetry destinations retain Workers Observability event-based pricing. ## Builder takeaways - Review the Logpush dataset and destination you need; product and plan access can differ by dataset. - Estimate uncompressed log volume rather than compressed storage size when modelling usage. - Set budget alerts and track each of the three meters; included volumes are per Cloudflare account. - If filtering with Transformers, account for both input transformation and output export charges. - Include destination storage/ingestion costs and verify data retention, access control and privacy handling. ## What to watch - Whether small-site adoption and data portability improve with self-service exports. - Cloudflare's planned pricing alignment for other Export/Observability destinations. - Dataset-specific availability changes, new destinations and cost controls. ## Uncertainties - Actual monthly charges depend on uncompressed delivered volume and destination fees, not just the Cloudflare headline rate. - Dataset eligibility and the Export platform's longer-term pricing alignment may evolve. - Cloudflare's broader access pledge does not mean every Enterprise feature is available on all plans. ## Sources - [Logpush is now available on all plans with usage-based pricing](https://developers.cloudflare.com/changelog/post/2026-09-30-logpush-usage-based-pricing/) — Cloudflare Docs Changelog · primary announcement · 2026-09-30T00:00:00+13:00.
