Every account starts with a free monthly allowance — no credit card required. Usage above the allowance is metered per unit, and every dimension steps down to a cheaper rate automatically once monthly volume is high enough.
Compute, storage, active branches, and egress — nothing else is ever billed. Rates are per unit in gcp-usc1-dev.
First 100 CU-hours free every month
A CU-hour is one hour a compute spends awake, multiplied by that compute's size. It meters size and uptime, not work done — nothing reads CPU, memory, IOPS or connections, so an idle-but-awake compute costs the same as a fully loaded one of the same size. A suspended compute costs nothing.
First 5 GB free every month
First 10 active branches free every month
First 10 GB of egress free every month
One plan. Metered per unit, with a volume discount that applies itself.
Every month begins inside the free allowance. Stay under it and your bill is $0.00.
Usage above the allowance is metered per unit — compute, storage, branches, egress. No seats, no minimums, no plan matrix.
Every dimension gets cheaper automatically at higher monthly volume — no opt-in, no commitment, no sales call. The bands are listed on each card above; you fall into them by using more.
Drag the sliders — the estimate uses the exact math our invoices use: the free allowance first, then each volume band at its own rate.
Estimate only — your real invoice uses the exact math shown above.
