Google Cloud Functions pricing
Google Cloud · FaaS (now on Cloud Run model) · snapshot captured June 2026
Google Cloud Functions is priced as faas (now on cloud run model). Cloud Functions (2nd gen) was renamed 'Cloud Run functions' in Aug 2024 and bills on Cloud Run rates ($0.000024/vCPU-s + $0.0000025/GiB-s + $0.40/1M requests). 1st-gen kept its own invocations + GB-s + GHz-s model with the free tier shown. It scales to zero, so you pay nothing while idle. Egress: 5 GiB outbound free/month, then standard Google Cloud egress.

Worked example
A small API doing 1,000,000 requests/month, each running ~200 ms at 256 MB of memory (≈50,000 GB-seconds/month):
On Google Cloud Functions this works out to about $0/month of compute after the free tier — the whole workload fits inside the free allowance. Egress and any platform minimum are extra (5 gib outbound free/month, then standard google cloud egress.).

Cost pros & cons
Where Google Cloud Functions saves money
- Generous free tier (2M invocations + 400k GB-s + 5 GiB egress)
- Tight integration with Pub/Sub, Firestore, Eventarc
- 2nd-gen inherits Cloud Run's flexibility and concurrency
Watch-outs
- Confusing 1st-gen vs 2nd-gen (Cloud Run functions) split
- Egress beyond 5 GiB billed separately
- 2nd-gen now priced like Cloud Run, not the simpler 1st-gen model

Figures are a dated snapshot from Google Cloud's pricing page (snapshot captured June 2026). The worked example is a transparent calculation over those inputs (see methodology). Serverless pricing is volatile and varies by region, memory tier and discounts — verify current prices on the vendor's page before relying on them. This is an informational comparison, not a quote.
