| Identity | card a Cloudflare account plus a valid payment method on file before any credit exists: the programme page states 'You will be required to create a Cloudflare account and upload a valid payment method on file'. The authorisation amount is not stated; whether debit or prepaid is accepted is not stated; no phone or ID step is stated |

| Reliability | no reliability event recorded |

| Notes | The honest gap is the number: Cloudflare publishes no credit amount, and the terms let it change or withdraw the programme 'at any time without notice'. A reader needs the payment method on file, so this is a card-gated lane, and the credits are non-transferable and not redeemable for cash. Somebody with an OSS project should ask for a number in the contact form rather than assume a tier. |
