# What Cloud Run costs > What Cloud Run costs, line by line: the free tier, request or instance billing, egress, Cloud SQL, regions, budgets and the first bill. These guides price a Cloud Run app from Google's list prices and show the arithmetic. They cover the free tier and what ends it, request-based and instance-based billing, the bill at traffic from 100 thousand to 100 million requests, egress, the smallest Cloud SQL instances, region price tiers, budget alerts and how to read the first bill. - [GPUs on Cloud Run: running your own model, what it costs, and where the start goes](https://exodus.elim.io/blog/gpus-on-cloud-run.md): Cloud Run attaches an NVIDIA L4 or RTX PRO 6000 to an instance and scales it to zero. What a deploy needs, a sample model image we built and timed, where the cold start goes, and the cost. - [Minimum instances and startup CPU boost: what a cold start costs, and what it costs to skip it](https://exodus.elim.io/blog/min-instances-and-startup-cpu-boost.md): Startup CPU boost makes every start faster for a fraction of a cent; a minimum instance skips the wait for about $8 to $10 a month. How each works, how to measure first, the costs and the traps. - [Budget alerts and the billing export](https://exodus.elim.io/blog/budget-alerts-and-the-billing-export.md): Google Cloud has no spending limit unless you set one. How budgets and alerts work, what a Pub/Sub budget message can do, spend caps, and the BigQuery billing export read with three queries. - [Choosing a Cloud Run region: latency, price tiers and what each region has](https://exodus.elim.io/blog/choosing-a-cloud-run-region.md): A Cloud Run service lives in the region of its first deploy. What that decides (latency, a 20 to 40% price gap, nearby products, where data stays), how to measure it, and how to move later. - [What Cloud Run costs at 100 thousand, 1 million, 10 million and 100 million requests a month](https://exodus.elim.io/blog/cloud-run-costs-worked-examples-by-traffic.md): One web app priced line by line at 100 thousand to 100 million requests a month: Cloud Run, database, egress, logs, images, every assumption written down, and how to check the prices yourself. - [Cloud Run or a VPS: which one costs less](https://exodus.elim.io/blog/cloud-run-or-a-vps.md): A VPS bills the month; Cloud Run bills the seconds your code runs. Worked prices for a small app, a busy one and a steady one, and what each price leaves out: database, egress, disk, your time. - [The smallest Cloud SQL instances and what they cost](https://exodus.elim.io/blog/cloud-sql-smallest-instances-and-what-they-cost.md): Cloud SQL's cheapest machines, from $7.67 to $184.69 a month, priced with storage, backups, HA and the charges people miss. Which to choose, how to create it, how to read its cost. - [Egress on Google Cloud, explained](https://exodus.elim.io/blog/egress-on-google-cloud-explained.md): Google Cloud egress: free in, free inside a region, $0.02 to $0.08 per GiB between regions, about $0.105 to users in Europe and North America. When a load balancer or CDN lowers the bill. - [Reading your first Google Cloud bill](https://exodus.elim.io/blog/reading-your-first-google-cloud-bill.md): A first Google Cloud bill is a statement that arrives after the charge, with many $0.00 lines. How it is built, when you are charged, how to check a line yourself, and what credits are. - [Request-based or instance-based billing on Cloud Run: which one to pick](https://exodus.elim.io/blog/request-based-or-instance-based-billing.md): A Cloud Run service bills only while it handles requests, or for every second an instance lives. What each charges for, what the CPU does between requests, where costs cross, and how to switch. - [The Cloud Run free tier, explained: what is free, how far it goes, what ends it](https://exodus.elim.io/blog/the-cloud-run-free-tier-explained.md): Cloud Run gives each billing account $4.32 of CPU, $0.90 of memory and 2 million requests a month. What that buys, who shares it, what quietly uses it up, and how to read what is left. - [What Cloud Run costs, with worked examples](https://exodus.elim.io/blog/what-cloud-run-costs.md): Google's list prices for Cloud Run and the services around it, the free tier, a small app priced line by line, the case where Cloud Run costs more, and how to check every price yourself.
