Cloud Build pricing

Cloud Build charges for build-minutes consumed above a certain threshold.

A build-minute is incurred for every minute that a build initiated by Cloud Build is in process. Partial minutes are billed at the actual number of seconds consumed. Data transfer networking charges are included in build-minute charges.

Build-minutes are not incurred for the time that a build is queued. Charges are accrued to the billing account associated with the Google Cloud console project that initiated the build.
