The free Google Cloud program includes the following elements:

• Free trial with $ 300 in valid credits for 90 days : New users of Google Cloud and Google Maps Platform can benefit from a 90 -day trial period which includes $ 300 of free cloud credit to discover and assess Google Cloud and Google Maps Platform products and services.

This article describes the components of the free Google Cloud program.

Free trial with $ 300 in valid credits for 90 days

The free trial includes free Billing cloud credits that allow you to pay the resources you use to familiarize yourself with Google Cloud.

Free trial eligibility conditions are as follows:

• You have never been a paid client of Google Cloud, Google Maps Platform or Firebase.
• You have never benefited from the free trial.
• If you are in India, you must have a cloud billing account based on INR before creating Firebase billing accounts to register for free trial. The [Google Maps Platform services] (https: // developers.Google.com/maps/) are not available for projects associated with accounts based on INR.

The 90 -day free trial including $ 300 in credits starts automatically when you finish your registration.

To complete your registration for free trial, you must provide a credit card or any other payment method to configure a cloud billing account and validate your identity. Do not worry, the configuration of a Cloud billing account does not allow us to pay you fees. No costs are billed to you, unless you explicitly activate invoicing by going to a paid cloud billing account. You can go to a paid account at any time during the test. After that, you can always use the remaining credits (during the 90 -day period).

Your free trial credits apply to all Google Cloud resources, including Google Maps Platform, except in the following cases:

• You cannot add GPUs to your VM instances.
• You cannot request an increase in quota. To find out more about the compute Engine quotas, see the resource quotas page.
• You cannot create VM instances based on Windows Server images.
• You cannot create Google Cloud Vmware Engine resources.

To carry out one of the actions on the list above, you must go to a paid cloud billing account.

In addition to resource constraints, the conditions of use of the free trial describe the use cases which are prohibited during the free trial. For example, you cannot use Google Cloud services to carry out cryptocurrency mining during the free trial.

• You have spent the entire $ 300 credit.
• A period of 90 days has passed since your registration.

During the free trial period, credits and remaining days are displayed on the “Overview of the billing account” page of Google Cloud Console Console.

Service level contracts do not apply during the free trial. The goal of the free trial is to help you discover and assess Google Cloud. We do not recommend running production applications on Google Cloud during the free trial.

During the free trial period, when you use resources covered by the free version, the use of the free version is not charged on your free trial credits.

Test

If you start on Google Cloud, create an account to assess the performance of our products in real conditions. New customers also benefit from $ 300 of free credits to execute, test and deploy workloads.

Validation of billing information

When you register for free trial, Google asks you to provide a credit card or any other payment method. Google uses this information for the following purposes:

• Validate your identity
• Distinguish real people from robots

To find out more about payment methods (including the types of credit cards accepted), see the available payment methods section.

Your cloud billing account is likely to be suspended if your payment method expires or is no longer valid during the free trial.

Once you have provided your payment information, Google performs a test transaction for validation purposes only. No amount is debited after this validation process, unless you set up your cloud billing account to a paying account.

This transaction has the following characteristics:

• This is an authorization request to validate your cloud billing account, not a real speed.
• The transaction appears on your bank statement as coming from Google.
• The amount is between 0.00 and 1.00 USD. Your bank may convert this amount to your local currency.
• If you provide your bank details, a maximum of three days may be necessary for the transaction to appear on your statement.
• If you provide information from your credit card, this transaction may appear on your statement for a maximum of a month before being canceled automatically.

Depending on your country, you may have to validate your bank account to complete the registration process. To find out more about the validation of bank accounts, see the Validate your bank account page.

Noticed : If you encounter problems during the validation process, contact Cloud Billing assistance.

End of the free trial

The free trial ends when you have spent all your credit or after 90 days, depending on the first boundary. At this stage, the following conditions apply:

• To continue using Google Cloud, you must go to a paid cloud billing account.
• All the resources you created during the test are stopped.
• All the data you have stored in Compute Engine is marked for deletion and can be lost. Find out more about deleting data on Google Cloud
• Your Cloud billing account is part of 30 days in which you can recover the resources and data you stored in Google Cloud services during the trial period.
• You can receive a message indicating that your cloud billing account has been canceled, which means that your account has only been suspended to avoid costs.

Go to a paid cloud billing account

You can go to a paid cloud billing account at any time after the start of the free trial. Thus, your resources continue to operate without interruption after the end of the test. You can also upgrade your account if you want to use features not included in the free trial, such as GPUs and Windows servers.

When you go to a paying account, the following conditions apply:

• If you go to a paid account before the end of the test : any credit remaining and not expired from the free trial remains on your cloud billing account. You can continue to use the resources created during the free trial, without interruption. For the resources you use in addition to the resources covered by the remaining credit, the registered payment method is debited (credit card or bank account).
• If you go to a paid account within 30 days of the end of the test : your resources are marked for deletion, but you may be able to recover them. Find out more about deleting data on Google Cloud
• If you go to a paid account more than 30 days after the end of the test, Your free trial resources are lost.
