Cloudflare Workers AI Offers 10,000 Free Neurons Daily, Then $0.011 per 1,000

As of October 2026, Cloudflare Workers AI provides every account with 10,000 Neurons per day at no cost, with usage beyond that billed at $0.011 per 1,000 Neurons on the Workers Paid plan. The free allowance resets each day at 00:00 UTC, so a batch job spanning midnight UTC draws on two separate daily allocations. Per-token model prices vary widely, with the cheapest and most expensive listed models differing by roughly 49 times on input cost. Rate limits can constrain usage before cost does, with text generation capped at 300 requests per minute and paid-only models limited to 20 or 50 per minute depending on billing method. The article also covers a minimal Worker example that calls a model through an AI binding, and recommends testing on the smallest model first and logging actual Neuron consumption.
