Simple per-site pricing
The WAF that tells you what's safe to block.
Self-serve is $150/site/month or $1,650/year. 14-day trial at checkout — no charge if you cancel first.
Rules start in count. The dashboard names what's safe to block. You still click once.

Card at Stripe checkout. Cancel before the 14-day trial ends and you won't be charged.
Cloudflare Business lists at $250 / month per zone, or $200/mo equivalent on annual prepay ($2,400/year). We are a managed WAF at $150/site — not a 30-product console.
How this compares
The WAF that tells you what's safe to block, next to the other ways people put a firewall in front of a site. We do not publish a do-it-yourself AWS bill, and we are not Cloudflare's product suite.
Who runs it
- This product
- We provision the edge, the certificate, and the WAF, then show you one dashboard.
- AWS managed rules, in the console
- You build the distribution, certificate, Web ACL, and logging, then maintain them per site.
- Cloudflare
- You configure the zone. Business is a large platform you operate yourself.
- Doing it yourself
- You read the counters and decide what to flip. Same idea, no operator in the loop.
What blocks on day one

The Advisor reads your count window and explains what's safe to promote — you still click once. Rule-based checks on your own site's logs — the same evidence always gives the same answer. See an example Tuning panel. How we start: WAF count mode. Setup: DNS cutover to count. Scan grade: what the grade means. DIY vs managed: console burden or operator. Managed WAF pricing: is $150/site worth it. Concierge DNS: we point your site at the managed WAF. Also: Solutions · Blog.
Usage above the included amount
Each site includes 300 GB and 5M requests / month. Extra traffic is $0.15/GB and $3.00 per million requests. 99.9% edge SLA — service credits if we miss it.
Campus teams: Campus Estate — invoiced by Mac, not the $150 checkout.
What does a 403 mean?
A 403 is what visitors see after you promote a rule to block — not on day one. Rules start in count. After 24 hours, the Advisor explains what's safe; you still click once. See What a branded 403 looks like.
