With CF's main selling point of "free CDN requests & egress pricing", it is charging Enterprise customers PER requests and bandwidth based on an order form from an incoming customer.

Are you sure? CF's main selling point has always been DDoS protection. Even with $$$ it's better than the AWS etc equivalent.

Even on their website, the main message isn't "free forever" but "protect" and "start free".

Vercel never uses its "open-source" framework funnel to lock folks into opaque, five-figure Enterprise deals for basic features (like security), right?
