WAF Billing Modes

Updated on 2025-02-25 GMT+08:00

WAF supports yearly/monthly (prepaid) and pay-per-use (postpaid) billing. For cloud WAF, both billing modes are supported. For dedicated WAF instances, only pay-per-use billing is supported. For details about different billing modes, see WAF Pricing Details.

  • Yearly/monthly billing: You need to pay the bill for the required duration.
  • Pay-per-use billing: You are billed for the number of protected domain names, number of customized rules, and number of forwarded requests.
