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.

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.
