Solved: About Vertex AI Model Monitoring billing - Page 2

BigQuery's pricing page says the analysis fee is $5.00 per TB, and Model Montoring's pricing page says it is $3.50 per GB. Does this only cost $3.50 per GB when Model Monitoring is enabled? Or does both apply?

Hello YoshinaoMori,

Google Cloud follows a pay-as-you-go pricing structure, meaning, you only pay for the services you use. If both Analysis and Model Monitoring features are active then both will apply.

The Analysis fee covers the processing of queries, user-defined functions, scripts, and certain data manipulation language (DML) and data definition language (DDL) statements while the Model Monitoring fee cover the processing of data used to monitor your models.

In the event that you disabled the Model Monitoring feature, then you will only be charged for the Analysis fee.

I hope I was able to answer your question.
