Barracuda WAF-as-a-Service Pricing 2026

Barracuda WAF-as-a-Service is the cloud-hosted variant of Barracuda's appliance line. Pricing has historically been per-application and quoted through the Build and Price configurator. As of June 2026 Barracuda no longer publishes per-app list rates on the product page; the rate sits behind a configurator-driven quote.

Hidden costs to watch

The line items most buyers miss

Barracuda no longer publishes per-app list pricing on the WAF-as-a-Service page. The Build and Price tool gates the rate behind a contact form.

Build and Price configurator gates the rate; until you complete it, you do not see the number.
Advanced Bot Protection and DDoS sit in the higher Premium tier rather than the Advanced tier.
On-prem appliance WAF (Barracuda WAF, not WAF-as-a-Service) prices differently with a perpetual licence option.
AWS Marketplace and Azure Marketplace listings exist with similar quote-driven flows.
Per-app pricing means scaling cost is linear with application count, not request volume.

Direct answer

Where do I get a price for Barracuda WAF-as-a-Service?

Contact the vendor directly at https://www.barracuda.com/products/application-protection/waf-as-a-service. Quote-only vendors typically scope the contract by request volume, number of protected properties or applications, bandwidth tier, contract length, and which add-ons (bot management, API security, DDoS) are included. The quote-only vendor reference page lists the questions the rep will ask in a discovery call.

WAF-as-a-Service vs the appliance

Barracuda sells two WAF products. WAF-as-a-Service is the cloud-hosted SKU on this page. The on-prem Barracuda WAF appliance (hardware or virtual) prices on a different model with perpetual licence plus annual energise updates. Treat them as separate products with separate quotes; do not assume the WAF-as-a-Service price translates to the appliance rate.

Configurator workflow

The Build and Price tool on the Barracuda site asks for application count, traffic profile, geography, and add-on selection (bot, API security, DDoS) before returning a quote. Expect a follow-up from a partner or direct rep within a few business days.
