Google Sign-In for iOS and OAuth Cost

I have enabled Sign In with Google in my iOS app and I am confused about the pricing.

While making my OAuth certificates on the console I had to upgrade my account to a billing account (my account was previously connected to a free firebase account that did not have billing). I made a new project for the OAuth certificates.

I assumed that utilising sign in with google would be free, but I’m less sure because I had to make a billing account and enter a credit card now.

There are many “identity” products advertised on the Google cloud webpage, and I’m certain I’m not using any of them (I’m simply using the GoogleSignInSwift package on iOS and entering the OAuth credentials in my Supabase backend).

When I look under billing, there is an account, but none of my projects are linked to it.

Questions:

- why do I have to make a billing account with a credit card if I’m not using a paid service?

- is using sign in with google like I am free or is it really one of these identity products.

I’m quite certain it’s free but I wanted to please check. Navigating the offerings and the console takes a lot of getting used to.
