The reference cost models 1 M messages of 1 KiB to a single consumer, with no batching, retries or free tiers. SQS and Cloudflare: send + receive + delete (3 M operations). QStash: 1 M HTTP attempts. Excludes consumer execution, transfer and base plans; it doesn't measure latency or guarantee exactly-once execution.

What to validate before you make a decision.
Tarifa $1 por 100K intentos = $10/M. Cada reintento y destino adicional cuenta. Excluye ejecución del endpoint y sobreconsumo de transferencia. La retención de DLQ de 7 días no se presenta como retención de cola.
