Cloud Pricing Basics
We give you options to fit your needs so that you can efficiently
run your business. GCP empowers you to allocate for your needs.
It all starts with Compute, Storage, and Network.
Compute
Custom machine types provide exactly what you need for your
specific workloads. Our machines roll up in minutes and
automatically scale as your needs change, helping you avoid
over allocating resources. And the more you use, the more
you save with sustained use discounts.
Storage
From managed storage solutions to roll-your-own databases, GCP
is designed to keep your data secure and highly accessible.
We offer best-in-class IOPS, automatic replication, and live
disk resizes -- all at no cost premium. Blob storage starts
at $0.007 (in US regions) with millisecond response times.
Network
Access to Google’s global network, with pricing that works
for you. Competitive egress pricing compared to other clouds
and you don’t have to worry about additional operational
expenses, like you do with non-cloud infrastructure.
Education and Startup Programs
Education Grants
Cloud Platform credits and additional
resources for qualified startups and
educators.
Startup Program
