## 50,000 routes per account and Tunnels for Platforms

[Cloudflare Tunnel](https://developers.cloudflare.com/tunnel/) [Cloudflare Tunnel for SASE](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/networks/connectors/cloudflare-tunnel/) [Cloudflare Mesh](https://developers.cloudflare.com/mesh/) [Cloudflare One](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/)

Two changes make it easier to run Cloudflare Tunnel at scale.

#### 50,000 routes per account by default

The default limit for [routes](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/networks/routes/add-routes/) is now 50,000 per account, up from 1,000. This limit covers [CIDR routes](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/networks/connectors/cloudflare-tunnel/private-net/cloudflared/connect-cidr/) and [hostname routes](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/networks/connectors/cloudflare-tunnel/private-net/cloudflared/connect-private-hostname/) for [Cloudflare Tunnel](https://developers.cloudflare.com/tunnel/) and [Cloudflare Mesh](https://developers.cloudflare.com/mesh/). The new limit applies to every account automatically, with no action required.

Published applications (public hostnames) are not routes and are not affected by this limit. Each tunnel supports roughly 5,000–10,000 published applications, depending on the size of its configuration. For details, refer to [Published application limits](https://developers.cloudflare.com/tunnel/concepts/routing/#published-application-limits).

#### Tunnels for Platforms

Every account includes 1,000 tunnels. With [Tunnels for Platforms](https://developers.cloudflare.com/tunnel/features/tunnels-for-platforms/), you can now run more than 1,000 tunnels in a single account — for example, one tunnel per device, per end customer, or per development environment.

![Buy additional tunnels from the Tunnels page in the Cloudflare dashboard](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cdn-cgi/image/onerror=redirect,width=1512,height=802,format=webp/_astro/tunnels-for-platforms.DuPYMNzo.gif)

To buy additional tunnels, go to **Networking** > **Tunnels** and select **Buy more tunnels** in the **Usage** card. Additional tunnels are billed at $4.50 per tunnel per month. Enterprise customers can contact their account team for committed or usage-based pricing.
