Pricing Details

BigQuery is based on a pay-as-you-go model that includes storage, queries, and additional services, with no fixed monthly plans. On the free plan, BigQuery Sandbox offers limited usage with no credit card required, and Google Cloud Free Tier offers the first 1 TiB of data analyzed per month for free, and the first 10 GiB of storage for free, making it suitable for testing the service or small projects without costs. As for the paid plans, the cost of queries is determined by the volume of data analyzed, whether on-demand or by purchasing slots in advance, while the cost of storage is calculated according to the volume of data stored with lower prices for long-term data, and includes additional services such as BigQuery ML, BigQuery Omni, data transfers and transformations, and other integrations as needed, noting that payment is based entirely on actual usage and there are no traditional monthly SaaS plans.
