What is Zipper / TinyZipper?

Zipper (also searched as TinyZipper, Tiny Zipper, and tinyzipper.com) is Spatial Regal Technology’s Cloudflare-shaped edge platform. Honest production on multi-layered Global Server nodes with 26 named services, priced per workspace.

Is Zipper a Cloudflare alternative?

Yes — as a workspace-priced control plane with Cloudflare-shaped jobs. Honest production is multi-layered Global Server nodes: application-layer DDoS and WAF, in-process cache, DNS-JSON (not port 53), and image delivery (not transcoding). 26 named services plus Palace Guard.

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 26 services, 2 zones, 2 TB of Crown egress, 50,000 Portcullis challenges, Palace Guard scans, and no credit card.

What is the cheapest paid Zipper plan?

Starter is US$12 per month (US$120 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. Palace Guard is Zipper’s edge antivirus — Cloudflare has no analogue. Guides live in /docs.

What does Zipper run on day one?

Application-layer DDoS and WAF, in-process cache, DNS-JSON, original-byte images, Edge Functions, Site Hosting, Zipper Mail, Zipper Pilot, The Armory, sealed Postgres (The Cellar), and 26 named palace services on multi-layered Global Server nodes — priced per workspace.
