Cloudflare bills on a recurring cycle for each domain on your account — every 30 days for monthly plans or annually for yearly plans. Plans and add-on services are billed separately, and some products use usage-based billing. You can pay with Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Stripe Link, or UnionPay.
