[Cloudflare Pipelines](https://developers.cloudflare.com/basin-pipelines/) is a streaming data platform that ingests events, transforms them with SQL, and writes to [R2](https://developers.cloudflare.com/r2/) as JSON, Parquet, or [Apache Iceberg ↗︎](https://iceberg.apache.org/) tables. Pipelines now has published pricing based on two usage dimensions: the volume of data processed by SQL transforms and the volume of data delivered to sinks. Ingress into a Pipeline stream is free.

**Billing is not yet enabled. We will provide at least 30 days notice before we start charging for Pipelines usage.**

Pipelines pricing model is designed to charge per GB based on what you use:

- **Streams (ingress)**: Free, regardless of volume.
- **SQL transforms**: $0.04 / GB for stateless transforms (filter, reshape, unnest, cast, compute).
- **Sinks**: $0.03 / GB for JSON, $0.06 / GB for Parquet or Iceberg output.

Workers Free plans include 1 GB / month for each dimension. Workers Paid plans include 50 GB / month.

For full pricing details and billing examples, refer to [Pipelines pricing](https://developers.cloudflare.com/basin-pipelines/platform/pricing/).
