Cloud SQL

Google offers two billing plans for Cloud SQL:

For developers with more traffic, we have package plans that offer a discount and help you predict your costs in advance.

For developers with lightweight applications, we offer a flexible "per use" pricing scheme. You pay only for the time you access your data. Get started with a cloud-hosted MySQL database for around $1 per month.
