This document explains Firebase Data Connect pricing details.
If you pay in a currency other than USD, the prices listed in your currency on Cloud Platform SKUs apply.
Understand Data Connect billing
Firebase Data Connect consists of two billable components, the Data Connect service itself, and the Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL instance that contains your project data. If you integrate with Vertex AI, you are billed for vector embeddings.
Data Connect pricing
No cost for Data Connect network egress until the product enters General Availability (GA).
After GA, network egress has no cost up to 10 Gib/month; more than 10 Gib/month, egress is charged at Google Cloud Internet Data Transfer Rate Premium Tier pricing.
No cost for operations (queries or mutations) executed from clients until the product enters General Availability.
After GA, no cost up to 250,000 operations per month; more than 250,000, operations are charged at $4.00 per million.
Cloud SQL no cost trial
If you accept the default configuration when you provision a Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL instance, you will be qualified for no cost trial for the duration of Public Preview.
- 5 free trials are available per billing account.
- 1 free trial Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL instance per project, although you can have multiple non-free instances within that project.
- The default configuration of your Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL instance is equivalent to a db-f1-micro instance that has 1 vCPU, 10 GB of storage, 628.74 MB of memory.
During the no cost trial, you can add computing resources to your Cloud SQL instance, set up a private IP for your instance, and create a read replica for your instance, at which point you will be billed according to Cloud SQL pricing.
After General Availability, new customers can sign up for a 3 month no cost trial for the default Cloud SQL instance created using Firebase Data Connect. Existing customers participating in the Public Preview trials will automatically roll into the 3 month no cost trials when General Availability starts. After 3 months, pricing starts as low as $9.37 / month (pricing varies based on regions and configurations; see Cloud SQL pricing.
Vertex AI embedding generation
Using Data Connect with Vertex AI will incur standard usage charges from Vertex AI for embedding generation.
Manage spending
To monitor your Data Connect usage, to access an overall view of all service activity, and links to analyze individual service activity, open the Data Connect product page. Use the dashboards to gauge your usage over different time periods.
To track your Data Connect costs, create a monthly budget in the Cloud console. Budgets won't limit your usage, but you can set alerts to notify you when you're approaching or exceeding your planned costs for the month.
To set a budget, in the Cloud console, go to the Billing section and create a budget for your Cloud Billing account. You can use the default alert settings or modify the alerts to send notifications at different percentages of your monthly budget.
