Plan & Pricing
Pricing model: Pay-as-you-go (per-API / per-SKU billing via Cloud Billing SKUs and product-specific meters).
Free tier/trial: New customers receive $300 in Welcome credit for the Free Trial (usable with covered products) and Google Cloud offers an always-free tier for 20–25+ products with monthly usage limits (see notes).
How to get prices: Use Google Cloud’s Price List / per-product pricing pages or the Cloud Billing Pricing API (skus/prices) to retrieve per-SKU rates and currency-converted prices.
Example official API/product prices (from vendor pages):
-
API Gateway (per million API calls): 0–2M = $0.00; 2M–1B = $3.00 per 1M calls; 1B+ = $1.50 per 1M calls. Data egress billed per standard network pricing.
-
Cloud Endpoints / Service Control (tracked operations per million): 0–2M = $0.00; 2M+ = $3.00 per 1M tracked operations.
-
Apigee (several models): Subscription tiers exist (Standard / Enterprise / Enterprise Plus — contact sales for subscription pricing) and Pay‑as‑you‑go option available. Example Pay-as-you-go rates (publisher page): Standard API Proxy calls: $20 per 1M (up to 50M) then $16 per 1M (50M–500M) then $13 per 1M (>500M); Extensible Proxy calls and environment hourly charges also apply (see Apigee pay-as-you-go tables). Some add‑ons (API Analytics) are priced per 1M calls (e.g., $20 per 1M).
Notes & discount options:
- Many API products use tiered per‑million-call pricing (volume tiers reduce per‑call unit price).
- Enterprise/custom pricing and committed‑use or contract discounts are available — contact sales for quotes.
- Use the Cloud Billing Pricing API to programmatically retrieve exact SKU prices for your billing account and currency (including any contracted custom prices).
