BigQuery

BigQuery is a serverless data analytics platform. You don't need to provision individual instances or virtual machines to use BigQuery. Instead, BigQuery automatically allocates computing resources as you need them. You can also reserve compute capacity ahead of time in the form of slots, which represent virtual CPUs.

Pricing

Storage pricing

Storage pricing is the cost to store data that you load into BigQuery. You pay for active storage and long-term storage.

  • Active storage includes any table or table partition that has been modified in the last 90 days.
  • Long-term storage includes any table or table partition that has not been modified for 90 consecutive days. The price of storage for that table automatically drops by approximately 50%. There is no difference in performance, durability, or availability between active and long-term storage.
  • Metadata storage includes storage for logical and physical metadata for datasets, tables, partitions, models and functions stored in the BigQuery metastore.

The first 10 GiB of storage per month is free.
