Google Cloud CDN Pricing FAQ

01 How much does Google Cloud CDN cost per GB?

Google Cloud CDN pricing varies by region and volume. North America and Europe start at $0.08/GiB for the first 10 TiB, decreasing to $0.03/GiB for 150-500 TiB. Asia-Pacific starts at $0.09/GiB, while China is significantly more expensive at $0.20/GiB. You also pay for cache fill ($0.01-0.04/GiB) and cache lookups ($0.0075 per 10,000 requests). Additionally, Cloud Load Balancer is required, adding $18+/month.

02 Does Google Cloud CDN offer a free tier?

Google Cloud CDN itself doesn't have a dedicated free tier, but new Google Cloud customers receive $300 in free credits valid for 90 days, which can be used for Cloud CDN and other services. This allows you to test the service before committing to paid usage. After credits expire, you pay standard pay-as-you-go rates.

03 Why does Google Cloud CDN require a load balancer?

Google Cloud CDN is tightly integrated with Google Cloud Load Balancing and cannot function independently. The load balancer acts as the origin and controls traffic routing to backends. This requirement adds $0.025/hour ($18/month) plus $0.008/GB for load balancer processing, increasing total costs by 10-20% compared to advertised CDN pricing alone. This integration provides advanced features but reduces cost competitiveness.

04 What are cache fill costs in Google Cloud CDN?

Cache fill costs represent the data transfer required to populate Cloud CDN's edge caches from your origin servers. You pay $0.01/GiB for intra-region cache fill (within NA or Europe), $0.02/GiB for Asia-Pacific, and $0.04/GiB for inter-region fills. For typical workloads with 80-90% cache hit rates, cache fill is about 10-20% of total traffic, adding meaningful cost beyond cache egress pricing.

05 How does Google Cloud CDN pricing compare to AWS CloudFront?

Google Cloud CDN and AWS CloudFront have similar pricing structures. Cloud CDN starts at $0.08/GiB (NA/EU) vs CloudFront's $0.085/GB, making them nearly identical at low volumes. CloudFront includes 1 TB free per month, while Cloud CDN requires immediate payment. CloudFront's flat-rate plans ($15-1,000/month) offer better predictability. Both require additional services (Load Balancer for Google, none for CloudFront), making CloudFront slightly simpler and often cheaper overall.
