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. The table shows that as a monthly figure (hourly rate × 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. Switch editions above to reprice the whole table.
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 aren’t shown here. For the AWS managed databases, see the Amazon RDS and Amazon Aurora pricing tables.
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 the instance (compute) price only — storage, high availability, and network egress are billed separately. Use the region, engine, and edition selectors above to price your exact setup.
- What's 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. Toggle the edition above to compare — the table reprices every row.
- Does the price include storage and high availability?
- No. The table prices the database instance (compute) only. SSD/HDD storage, high availability (a regional/HA configuration roughly doubles the compute rate), automated backups, and network egress are billed separately by Google Cloud and vary by region.
- Does Cloud SQL have committed-use discounts?
- Yes, but they are spend-based, not per-machine-type: you commit to a dollar amount of vCPU/RAM usage for 1 or 3 years (about 25% and 52% off) and the discount applies at the billing account. Because they aren't tied to a specific instance SKU, they can't be shown per row — this table lists on-demand rates.
- What's 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; Enterprise Plus starts at the dedicated-core standard and high-memory tiers.
- Is Cloud SQL pricing the same in every region?
- No. Rates vary by Google Cloud region; us-central1 (Iowa) is usually among the cheapest. Switch regions with the selector above to see local pricing.
- 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.
