# ADN vs Cloudflare Markdown for Agents — Agent Delivery Network — ADN

← Back to Help What Cloudflare Pro bundles
 • One Markdown format for all bots
 • AI Crawl Control visibility
 • Snippets infrastructure
 • Super Bot Fight Mode
 Cloudflare serves every machine visitor the same response shape.
 What ADN adds on top
 • Nine intent classes — training crawlers, live user-triggered fetches, IDE agents, commercial scrapers, legacy SEO passthrough
 • Five response shapes — passthrough, Markdown, bulk corpus, MCP tools, blocked
 • Per-class policies and rate limits
 • Origin offload via fail-open shim
 • Cross-platform deployment (Cloudflare Snippet + Next.js middleware)
 • Neutral agent registry (free for agent builders)
 Pricing paths
 • Cloudflare Pro + ADN Growth: ~$174/mo total ($25 Pro + $149 ADN)
 • Vercel / Netlify primary: $149/mo ADN Growth — full agent stack without Cloudflare
 Hard safety rules (non-negotiable)
 • Googlebot, facebookexternalhit, Slackbot → passthrough untouched
 • Shim fails open — ordinary browser HTML stays on origin
 • Billing counts every ADN invocation (static assets excluded); analytics split total vs machine traffic
 • At quota with overages disabled → fail open to origin, not outage
 ADN is an add-on intelligence layer for Cloudflare customers, and the primary agent stack for everyone else.
