NoQ vs Cloudflare Waiting Room - Comparison

NoQ and Cloudflare Waiting Room offer a wide range of features, but there are some key differences between them.

Background

NoQ was founded by Hong Kong technical team RedSo in 2020. RedSo is the first Google Cloud Platform Service Partner in Hong Kong. It has been engaged in cloud system development for many years and has served Hong Kong large and small enterprises for more than 12 years. It has been four years since the product was launched and has received support from many enterprises. .

Cloudflare Waiting Room was released by Cloudflare in 2021 and is one of the features of the entire Cloudflare network solution.

Charging model

NoQ's charging model is simple and easy to understand. No matter what form of connection, the charges are the same. There are three main charging forms, monthly fee, one activity and multiple activities a year. Customers can decide the service plan they need based on their traffic needs. To put it simply, it can be thought of as a data plan phone card for travel, with charges based on time and traffic. Of course, customers can also discuss NoQ's value-added services as needed, and purchase advanced features if necessary. NoQ also provides an automatic upgrade function, which will not cause major financial losses due to unpredictable traffic.

Cloudflare Waiting Room is relatively expensive. First of all, you cannot purchase this function independently. You first need to become an enterprise customer of Cloudflare before you can purchase the Cloudflare Waiting Room function.
