Feature Comparison

Sucuri offers one annual fee for website cleanup and protection, with unlimited malware removal requests. With CloudFlare, additional charges may apply for one-time manual cleanups and complicated malware removal.

Website Protection & Performance Boost

The Sucuri Firewall is included in all plans. We are serious about performance so we use several techniques to make your site faster. Sucuri offers website protection and increased performance with Sucuri’s global Anycast content delivery network. The Sucuri CDN caches your website content automatically, increasing the website speed by over 70%.

Integration with Other CDNs

Even though the Sucuri website firewall already comes with a CDN that increases website performance more than 70%, Sucuri products can also be used together with other CDNs, such as Cloudflare. However, often due to our caching technology and global Anycast CDN, an additional CDN might not be necessary.

E-commerce Security in All Plans

CloudFlare offers advanced security features for e-commerce websites in their Business plan ($200/month), whereas Sucuri offers advanced security in all of the plans (starting at $9.99/month). Website security should be part of any e-commerce website stack. The Sucuri Website Security Platform (signup page) provides continuous website monitoring, protection, performance increase and remediation in case a website is compromised.

DDoS Attack Mitigation

Sucuri offers unlimited distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks mitigation in all Web Application Firewall (WAF) plans. No matter the attack size, type, or duration, Sucuri servers can handle a massive amount of malicious traffic. Receive only legitimate traffic and don’t disrupt your business. Layers 3, 4, and 7 DDoS attack mitigation are not included on Cloudflare`s free plan and require an upgrade to Business or Enterprise plans. Sucuri plans include coverage for all DDoS attack types.

Zero-Day Exploit Prevention

Sucuri researchers work night and day to stay on top of new website threats. In 2018, the Sucuri Firewall successfully protected websites from 99% of zero-day vulnerabilities. These types of security flaws are not known to software developers, meaning that security patches aren’t available. Despite this, the Sucuri Firewall blocks the vast majority of these exploitation attempts.

Unlimited Malware Removal Requests

Sucuri offers unlimited malware removal in all Website Security Platform plans. Even if your website is reinfected, you will be able to open a malware removal ticket and Sucuri’s security analysts will clean your website. This includes automated cleanup, manual inspection, and a complete report of the quarantined files. By comparison, CloudFlare does not offer monitoring or remediation services.
