The meters Google Cloud's pricing page does not total for you
A sticker price is compute. These are the charges that decide what the invoice says, and they are the reason two plans with identical vCPU and RAM can bill very differently.

2 plans we will not put a number on
These are not omissions and they are not zero. Each one needs an input Google Cloud cannot supply from a published page, so we name the missing input and link their page instead of estimating.
- bursty: needs effective billable instance-seconds after request concurrency/overlap; number and billed duration of cold starts and shutdowns. Check it on Google Cloud →
- scale-to-zero: needs effective billable instance-seconds after request concurrency/overlap; number and billed duration of cold starts and shutdowns. Check it on Google Cloud →
1 free offer we list but never rank on price
Google Cloud publishes one offer that costs nothing to start. That is a real answer and it stays on this page, but a rationed quota or a signup credit is not a monthly price, so none of it fills a money column here or anywhere else on the site. What every free tier actually limits →
- Always Free e2-micro (VPS): a free tier whose usage limits we have not fully modelled, not a monthly price. Check the current terms on Google Cloud →
Where Google Cloud runs
We have confirmed 3 regions across these plans: us-west, us-central, us-east.
How to check every number above
Each price was read from Google Cloud's own pages, most recently on 2026-09-01. Open the source, read the figure, and tell us if it has moved. Prices change and a comparison that does not say when it last looked is not worth trusting.
