  • Where. Cloud Run runs in one Google Cloud region; Workers in the data center nearest the user, in 335+ cities.
  • Limits. Cloud Run functions allow several GiB of memory and 60-minute HTTP requests; Workers give 128 MB and up to 5 minutes of CPU.
  • Free tier. Cloud Run includes 2 million requests a month; the Workers free plan 100,000 requests a day.

Should you choose Google Cloud Run or Cloudflare Workers?

Choose Google Cloud Run if

  • you need containers, big memory or long requests
  • your code sits next to Cloud SQL or Firestore in one region
  • you want the 2 million free requests a month

Choose Cloudflare Workers if

  • your users are worldwide and latency matters
  • your code mostly waits on I/O
  • you serve a lot of data and want free egress

Google Cloud Run runs containers and functions in one region with several GiB of memory and 60-minute requests, billing instance time per 100 ms. Cloudflare Workers run in 335+ cities with 128 MB per isolate and bill only CPU time.
For requests at 200 ms, 512 MB and 10 ms of CPU each, Cloudflare Workers becomes cheaper than Google Cloud Run above about 5.1 million requests a month. Below that, Google Cloud Run is cheaper, mostly thanks to its free allowance and because Workers Paid has a $5 monthly minimum. The more of each request is spent waiting on I/O, the sooner Workers win, because they bill only CPU time.
At US East list prices: serverless, per million requests, $0.40 on Cloud Run and $0.30 after 10M included on Workers; serverless compute, $0.000024 per vCPU-s + $0.0000025 per GiB-s on Cloud Run and $0.02 per million CPU ms on Workers. For 50M requests a month, that comes to $106.40 a month on Cloud Run and $26.40 on Workers.
Both sides use official list prices for Google Cloud us-east1 (South Carolina) and Cloudflare (one global price), read on October 14, 2026, with the always-free allowances and each provider's own billing rules applied.
