Self-host cost

FluxyChat self-host is $0 to us. You pay Cloudflare for Workers, Durable Objects, D1, and (if you use them) R2 and AI.

This is an order-of-magnitude note, not a quote. Read Cloudflare Workers pricing and Durable Objects pricing for current numbers.

What you actually run

• One Worker (HTTP + WebSocket upgrade)
• One Durable Object per active room
• D1 for messages, members, keys
• Optional: R2 for attachments, a paid AI provider for invokeAgent

Weekend / demo

The Workers free tier often covers a two-tab demo and a public room. Hibernating DOs are cheap when nobody is connected.

Production (very rough)

Cost follows WebSocket connections, DO requests, and D1 rows, not "unlimited rooms" as a marketing line. A quiet B2B workspace (tens of rooms, not a ticker) is usually a small Workers bill. A consumer chat at Stream scale is a different product; do not self-host FluxyChat expecting that shape.

Hosted FluxyChat Free is the no-card path if you do not want wrangler yet. Hosted is beta.
