Pricing

What it costs to run each module

Every module on the platform, priced two ways: the one-off fee to deploy it and what it costs to keep it running each day. Estimates use each module's default settings and update whenever the catalogue or our pricing changes.

How pricing works

Combine modules, share the platform

Pick a few modules and see what changes when they land in one project instead of separate ones. Each module still pays for itself; the network, and where modules need them, a database, the file and cache server, or a Kubernetes cluster, are billed once for the whole project rather than once per module.

Every module, both ways to run it

Cloud Run scales down when idle and suits most apps. GKE runs on Kubernetes and costs more to keep running. Open a row for the detail.

Costs are a day for a new project, running the module alone. Fee is the one-off module fee.

Dollar amounts are what the credits cost at $0.100 a credit, the price of a one-off top-up, which is the most you can pay for a credit. Subscription plans cost less per credit (from $0.080), so your cost can only be lower.

What varies with use

These are not in the daily figures. They grow with traffic, data or the options you switch on.

Pay per use

The module scales to zero, so you pay for the time it spends serving requests. The busier it is, the more it costs.

Database growth

The database grows with your data and keeps backups. High availability or a read replica roughly doubles it.

Data transfer

Downloads and streaming leave Google Cloud and are billed by the amount transferred.

AI model costs

Calls to an outside AI model are billed by that provider, and vector or model storage grows as you use it.

Crawling traffic

Fetching pages adds network traffic that is billed by the amount moved.

File server

Uses the shared file server. Its disk is a fixed size, but the traffic to and from it is not counted.

Cache server

Uses the shared cache server. A managed cache service, if you choose one, costs considerably more.

What a credit costs

Credits are bought through a plan or a one-off top-up. The more you buy on a plan, the less each credit costs.
