There are several tools you can use to estimate, view, and validate your Apigee Pay-as-you-go billing. This topic discusses how billing or organization administrators can:
- Estimate your bill
- Validate your bill
- Configure a Cloud Billing alert
- Get answers to billing questions
Roles and permissions required
To view project billing and configure alerts, you need the following roles:
- Apigee Organization Admin (
roles/apigee.admin
) - Billing Account Viewer (
roles/billing.viewer
)
Estimate your bill
When you use Pay-as-you-go pricing for Apigee, you are charged for the following:
- The number of active environments per region.
- The number of API calls to your proxies.
- The number of proxy deployment units used.
Using the above resource usage criteria, you can estimate your future bill in two ways:
- Use the Google Cloud pricing calculator.
- Compare usage data with the Apigee pricing table.
For information on ways to view and monitor your resource usage, see View Pay-as-you-go resource usage.
Use the Google Cloud pricing calculator
To use the pricing calculator to estimate your bill:
- Open the Google Cloud Pricing Calculator.
- Select or search for the Apigee product.
- Select the Apigee Pay-as-you-go product tab.
- Enter the name of the environment you want to use to estimate pricing.
- Enter the following details about your planned or existing Apigee instance:
- Regions: Enter the number of regions where the selected environment is deployed.
- Standard proxy deployments per region: Enter the number of Standard API proxies deployed to the environment, per region.
- Extensible proxy deployments per region: Enter the number of Extensible API proxies deployed to the environment, per region.
- Standard API proxy calls: Enter the average number of monthly Standard API proxy calls for this environment, as expressed in the desired unit of measurement (thousand, million, billion).
- Extensible API proxy calls: Enter the average number of monthly Extensible API proxy calls for this environment, as expressed in the desired unit of measurement (thousand, million, billion).
- Add-ons:
- Select the Analytics checkbox to estimate the cost for enabling the Apigee API Analytics add-on in eligible Intermediate or Comprehensive Pay-as-you-go environments.
- Select the API Security checkbox to estimate the cost for enabling the Advanced API Security add-on in eligible Intermediate or Comprehensive Pay-as-you-go environments. Apigee Analytics is required in order to enable the API Security add-on.
- Click Add to estimate.
Once the estimate is generated, you can email, save or download the estimate for future reference.
Additional Google Cloud networking charges apply and are billed separately. You can use the calculator to add additional charges to your estimate, such as network data transfer, Cloud load balancing, Cloud DNS, Cloud KMS, and Compute Engine services. See Pay-as-you-go pricing examples to learn more about cost estimates for other products and services.
Compare usage data with pricing information
You can also compare your current usage data with prices found in this table to get a reasonable approximation of your future bills.
For more information on best practices for implementing your Apigee policies and targets to optimize performance, see the API Proxy used for testing. More recommendations can be found in the Introduction to Antipatterns.
