1  Google Compute Engine Units
2  Lowest price (USD) per hour with full sustained usage: This is the price per hour with full sustained-use discounts applied, when the machine type is running for 100% of the month. To get a feel for how sustained usage pricing applies in your use cases, try the pricing calculator.
3  Typical price (USD) per hour: This is the price paid per hour under average usage as calculated over all Compute Engine users, and includes sustained use discounts.
4  Full price (USD) per hour without sustained use: This is the price per hour of the machine type when used less than 25% of the month; no sustained use discounts are applied because the instance was not running for at least 25% of the time.

Sustained Use Discounts

Once you use an instance for over 25% of a billing cycle, your price starts dropping. This discount is applied automatically, with no sign-up or up-front commitment required. If you use an instance for 100% of the billing cycle, you get a 30% net discount over our already low prices.

Premium OS Pricing

Pricing for premium operating systems differ based on the machine type where the premium operating system image is used. For example, an f1-micro instance will be charged $0.02 per hour for a SUSE image, while an n1-standard-8 instance will be charged $0.11 per hour. All prices for premium operating systems are in addition to charges for using a machine type.

Pricing for premium operating systems are the same worldwide and do not differ based on zones or regions, as machine type prices do.

Cloud SQL

Google offers two billing plans for Cloud SQL:

For developers with more traffic, we have package plans that offer a discount and help you predict your costs in advance.

For developers with lightweight applications, we offer a flexible "per use" pricing scheme. You pay only for the time you access your data. Get started with a cloud-hosted MySQL database for around $1 per day.

Translate API

Important: Google Translate API v.2 requires billing information for all accounts before you can start using the service. See instructions below in usage fees on how to enable billing.

Google Translate API pricing is based on usage. Translation usage is calculated in millions of characters (M), where 1 M = 106 characters. For more information, see the Pricing FAQ.
