Is Zipper a Cloudflare alternative?

Yes. Zipper is a workspace-priced alternative to Cloudflare CDN, WAF, Workers, Pages, Turnstile, Tunnel, Stream, Email Routing, and Waiting Room — twenty services from one control plane.

How is pricing cheaper than Cloudflare?

Starter is US$5/mo for 8 hostnames versus Cloudflare Pro US$20 per domain. Business is US$19/mo for 40 hostnames versus Cloudflare Business US$200 per domain. Workers, Load Balancing, and Stream are not separate Zipper SKUs.

No. Hostnames (zones) are included in the plan quota. You are not billed per domain the way Cloudflare Pro (US$20) and Business (US$200) are.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. Free includes all 20 services, 2 zones, 2 TB of Crown egress, 50,000 Portcullis challenges, and no credit card.

What is the cheapest paid Zipper plan?

Starter is US$5 per month (US$50 billed yearly) with 8 hostnames. That is below Cloudflare Pro and products such as Vercel Pro or Netlify Pro, and you are not billed per domain.

Can I replace Cloudflare Workers, Pages, and Turnstile?

Yes. Edge Functions maps to Workers, Site Hosting maps to Pages, and Portcullis maps to Turnstile. Origin Connect maps to Tunnel. Guides live in /docs.

How do I migrate from Cloudflare to Zipper?

Copy DNS into The Herald, proxy through The Crown, swap Turnstile for Portcullis, and point Workers at Edge Functions. Step-by-step: https://tinyzipper.com/docs/migrate-from-cloudflare.
