Which should you pick
Pick WAF for a personal or small site
If you run a personal site, blog, or small business page on a single origin, the base plan is enough. You get the full managed ruleset — flood absorption, bot filtering, and virtual patching — for $19 a month.
Pick WAF Pro for a production storefront or API
If revenue depends on your site staying up, or you run an API, pick Pro. You get unlimited origins, per-route rate shaping for fine-grained throttles, schema protection that rejects malformed payloads early, custom rulesets for your own signatures, and the mitigation SLA: 99.99% uptime with an on-call response when something big hits.
Billing and cancellation
Both plans are billed monthly, and you can cancel at any time by opening a ticket. See Managing products for plan changes.
