Usage

Usage is billed directly by Google Cloud, based on the structure outlined in the pricing section.

You can use the pricing calculator to estimate the volume and cost for monthly automation and backfill of historic data.

Subscription to Decode GA4 does not incur any cost.
Installation of Decode GA4 does not incur any cost, and gives access to metadata describing the structure and contents of your GA4 data.
BigQuery GA4 raw event data which is processed into a destination table or storage bucket counts directly towards your monthly consumption.
Only event date partitions which are successfully processed count towards your monthly consumption, and only the first time each partition is processed on any given date (UTC).
These consumption costs apply both to your daily processed data, and any data processed as part of an initial backfill.
Metadata-driven executions to install and run Decode GA4 do not count towards your monthly consumption.
The RUN function can be called multiple times a day if required, only counting towards your monthly consumption when date partitions are processed.
Additional custom transformations (for example, the statistics output table) added to the configuration also do not count towards your monthly consumption.

In order to test Decode GA4 on a subset of your GA4 data, the detailed approach is outlined in the test section.
