Cloudflare Cost Optimization
OhChimp reads your Cloudflare account and zone plans, sums a monthly run-rate, and surfaces Workers and R2 usage. Savings verified against your real bill.
What OhChimp optimizes for Cloudflare
Some of the cost levers OhChimp checks for Cloudflare. Each one becomes a reviewable plan you approve before anything changes.
Account plan run-rate
Account-level subscriptions carry the real price Cloudflare bills you, but they are easy to forget once they are set. OhChimp pulls each account subscription with its rate plan, price, and billing frequency, then normalizes everything to one monthly run-rate so you can see what each account actually costs.
Paid zone plans you stopped using
Every zone carries its own plan, and a Pro or Business zone keeps billing whether the site still matters or not. OhChimp inventories the paid plan on each zone with its real price, so you can spot zones paying for a tier they no longer need.
Multi-account and MSP spend rolled up
An enterprise or reseller token can see many accounts, and spend hides in the ones you rarely open. OhChimp pages through every account the token can reach, rolls up each account's subscriptions, and shows where the cost actually sits across your whole Cloudflare footprint.
Weekly, quarterly, and yearly plans normalized to monthly
Subscriptions bill weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly, which makes the true monthly cost hard to compare across plans. OhChimp converts each of those billing frequencies to a monthly figure so a yearly plan and a monthly plan sum on the same basis. An unrecognized frequency falls back to a conservative yearly rate and gets flagged.
Mixed-currency spend flagged
Subscriptions across regions can bill in different currencies, and a naive total quietly mixes them. OhChimp flags when your subscriptions span currencies so you treat the combined run-rate as approximate instead of trusting a number that summed dollars and euros together.
Workers request volume you are not watching
Workers bills on requests, and a chatty Worker can climb past your included allowance without anyone noticing. OhChimp summarizes request, subrequest, and error counts over the window and projects a monthly request volume, so you can see which traffic is driving the meter before the overage lands.
R2 storage and operations, with free egress in view
R2 bills for stored GB-month and class A and B operations, and storage creeps up as old objects pile on. OhChimp reports your peak stored GB, object count, and operations by type, and notes that R2 charges nothing for egress, which is where high-egress workloads on S3 or GCS are often materially cheaper on R2.
Cloudflare cost optimization FAQ
How does OhChimp connect to Cloudflare?
With a read-only Cloudflare API token. OhChimp calls the token-verify endpoint to confirm the token is active, then reads your account and zone plan subscriptions and your Workers and R2 usage analytics. The token needs three read-only scopes: Account Settings:Read, Billing:Read, and Analytics:Read.
Does OhChimp need write access or see my data?
No. The token is read-only. OhChimp reads billing metadata (rate plan, price, currency, frequency) and aggregated usage volumes (Workers request counts, R2 stored GB and operation counts). It never stores application data, secrets, or workload contents.
What Cloudflare costs can OhChimp actually reduce?
The plan side is where dollars are explicit: account subscriptions and paid zone plans, summed to a monthly run-rate with billing frequency normalized and mixed currencies flagged. On usage, OhChimp surfaces Workers request volume and R2 storage and operation counts so you can see what is driving the meter, including R2's free egress versus S3 or GCS.
Who applies the changes, and can they be rolled back?
You do. Each fix is a reviewable plan with a confidence score, a risk level, and rollback steps. Nothing changes until you click apply, and OhChimp applies the matching code and infrastructure changes together. It is never an autopilot.
How are the savings verified, and what does it cost?
Against your real Cloudflare bill. A plan is marked VERIFIED only after 7 or more days, a drop of at least 10%, and 3 consecutive positive checks. Until then it stays flagged "not implemented." Pricing is a flat monthly fee, OhChimp never takes a cut of your savings, and paid plans carry a year-one ROI guarantee: a full refund of subscription fees if it does not pay for itself in the first 12 months.
