I am developing a a small dictionary app (in Go) that is not likely to get much traffic. Maybe 100 unique visitors per day and each visitor makes 10 queries. Also the app files are very slim. Not more than 100MB altogether.
I've looked at the pricing but it is really confusing. For example I don't know what to put at CPU and Memories per hour.

On their 'flexible scheme' I tried what seemed to be very low specs: 1 CPU, 128MB memory and 100MB disk space and it turned out to be
.05 per month!

Also on 'Standard scheme' the most basic instance is B1 which costs [CO].05 per hour, amonts to per month!

It is ridiculously expensive for lean VPS. So where is the GAE free tire? Am I missing something here? How do you estimate the price that I should expect?

Google most of product comes with free quotas. Here is list of all products which gives free quotas to test your webapp.

I am currently using Google compute engine and Google Cloud storage without paying anything to Google. Also Google gives 0 credit to new customer who enable billing on their accounts.

I still have same credits because 1 f1 micro instance for compute engine is totally free, and that is enough for my small app. I am not using app engine but here is free quota list for that as well.


28 instance hours per day

5 GB Cloud Storage

1 GB of egress per day

Shared memcache

1000 search operations per day, 10 MB search indexing

100 emails per day


But now Google charges standard rate from 9th march 2017


Please also note that any usage prior to March 9, 2017 for the above
listed services will be billed at the standard rates. Customers who
have exceeded their Always Free monthly usage limits for any service
prior to March 9, 2017 will not be eligible for Always Free usage
until April 1, 2017.
