## How Google Cloud SQL pricing works

Cloud SQL prices the database instance by its resources, not as a fixed instance type: you pay per vCPU and per GB of memory, by the hour, shown here as a monthly figure (hourly rate x 730) for the standard and high-memory machine types plus the two flat-rated shared-core tiers. Prices are for a Zonal (single-zone) instance; a Regional/HA configuration roughly doubles the compute cost.

Enterprise is the standard edition; Enterprise Plus charges a higher per-vCPU and per-GB rate (about 30% more) for larger machines, a data cache, and faster maintenance and failover. Shared-core tiers (db-f1-micro, db-g1-small) are Enterprise-only. The interactive table at https://www.bytebase.com/dbcost/cloudsql-pricing lets you switch region, engine, and edition and sort by any column.

The price covers compute only. Storage, high availability, backups, and network egress are billed separately and vary by region. Committed-use discounts exist but are spend-based (not per instance), so they are not shown.

## Google Cloud SQL pricing FAQ

### How much does Google Cloud SQL cost?

On-demand Cloud SQL starts around $8/month for a shared-core db-f1-micro instance and scales to several thousand per month for the largest high-memory machine types (Enterprise, us-central1). That is compute only - storage, high availability, and network egress are billed separately.

### What is the difference between Cloud SQL Enterprise and Enterprise Plus?

Enterprise is the standard edition. Enterprise Plus costs roughly 30% more per vCPU (and a higher per-GB memory rate) in exchange for larger machine types, a data cache, faster failover, and near-zero-downtime maintenance.

### Does the price include storage and high availability?

No. The price is for the database instance (compute) only. Storage, high availability (a regional/HA configuration roughly doubles the compute rate), backups, and network egress are billed separately by Google Cloud.

### Does Cloud SQL have committed-use discounts?

Yes, but they are spend-based, not per-machine-type: you commit to a dollar amount of usage for 1 or 3 years (about 25% and 52% off) and the discount applies at the billing account, so it cannot be shown per row. This table lists on-demand rates.

### What is the cheapest Cloud SQL instance?

The shared-core db-f1-micro is the cheapest option (about $8/month on-demand in us-central1), followed by db-g1-small. Shared-core machine types are Enterprise-edition only.

### Is Cloud SQL pricing the same in every region?

No. Rates vary by Google Cloud region; us-central1 (Iowa) is usually among the cheapest.

### Does this cover Cloud SQL for SQL Server?

Not yet. Cloud SQL also offers SQL Server, but its pricing adds per-core Microsoft licensing on top of the machine cost. This table covers the open-source engines - MySQL and PostgreSQL.
