I went to deploy my project on Google cloud there is two either we use Google App engine and Google Compute Engine by virtual instance  I went to know that what are the advantage and disadvantage of both the services and what is the minimum cost we have to pay to use both services and if we use Google App engine what is cost of per api request and cost of Storage for both Google App and compute Engine  like we went details info about App engine instance cost , api cost per request and other network and other costs to run and what is best if we have low beget  and for Database we are Mongodb atlas  and currently we are using app engine  currently we have free Credit  provide Detail info and we need to virtual machine if we use app engine or it not compulsory

Hi @Vikramjeet11 ,

Welcome to Google Cloud Community!

Here are some useful documentations that will help you understand the costs of either compute engine and app engine. Extra costs will have to be measured based on the additional resources around your base compute choice, like networking, but overall this links will help you out choose. The GC calculator will be your ally here, but as you are still running on free credits this is the best time to have a proof of concept and understand your billing.

Overall there is no straight answer on "what is best" as it depends on your needs and how much control you want to have over the infrastructure, the type of workload, durations and obviously, budget. If you are considering on a long term usage of gcp, maybe compute reservations would be beneficial to you. If your workload can be containerized, well App Engine or Cloud Run are cheaper and easy manageable solutions, really depends on your vision.
