How Much Does Cloudflare Page Shield Cost?
Cloudflare Page Shield, now called Client-Side Security, includes script monitoring on every Cloudflare plan, but the change-detection alerts PCI DSS 11.6.1 needs sit on the Client-Side Security Advanced add-on, at $0.099 per 1,000 requests (as published in November 2026). This video covers what each plan includes, how the per-request bill scales with your total traffic, what Cloudflare does well, what to check before you switch the add-on on, and how it compares with our published price for PCI DSS 6.4.3 & 11.6.1. If you're already on Cloudflare, check what your plan includes first. We make Script Monitoring, so we're biased: every competitor fact comes from our comparison pages and is marked as something to check.

Page Shield's script monitoring is included on every Cloudflare plan. The alerts PCI 11.6.1 needs are on Client-Side Security Advanced, at $0.099 per 1,000 requests. We make Script Monitoring, so we're biased. Script Monitoring is one first-party tag on your payment pages that watches every script, in every session, on any CDN. As published in November 2026: Free and Pro get script monitoring. Business and Enterprise add connection and cookie monitoring. Code change alerts and blocking rules are on the Advanced add-on, above every plan, Enterprise included. Page Shield is now called Client-Side Security, and Advanced is self-serve. Cloudflare estimates the bill from your previous month's HTTP requests, before you commit. If you're already on Cloudflare, check what your plan includes first. A first look costs nothing extra, the add-on price is published, and it's in a dashboard your team already uses. The add-on is metered per request, not per payment-page view, so the bill follows your total traffic. A million requests a month is $99. Ten million is $990. Check which requests count, and whether it's per zone or account. Also check: it needs your traffic on Cloudflare, it can sample as little as 1% of sessions, and five content security rules may not cover every payment page. Ask about evidence export too. Ours is metered on payment-page views only. Free for a thousand a month, then $99 for 100,000, $499 at 500,000, and $799 at a million. So, choose Cloudflare if you're already on it, Advanced covers what your assessor expects, and the per-request price works out lower for your traffic. Choose us if you're not on Cloudflare, or want both requirements and an evidence pack on every plan. On every Script Monitoring plan, free included, you get a weekly PCI evidence pack for your assessor. Try it on your own checkout today. Script Monitoring is free for 1,000 page views a month, and Pro starts at $99 a month, with a 14-day trial. Start for free at scriptmonitoring.com.
