Dialogflow pricing

Dialogflow is priced monthly based on the edition and the requests made during the month.

Conversational Agents (Dialogflow CX) no charge trial

New customers receive a $600 credit for a no charge trial of Conversational Agents (Dialogflow CX) that can be cancelled at any time. This credit activates automatically upon using Conversational Agents (Dialogflow CX) for the first time and expires after 12 months. This is a Conversational Agents (Dialogflow CX)-specific extension of the Google Cloud no charge trial.

Pricing table

The following terms are used to describe pricing and quotas:

  • Request: A request is defined as any API call to the Dialogflow service, whether direct with API usage or indirect with integration or console usage. Depending on the task and design of the agent, the number of requests needed for an end-user to accomplish a task with a Dialogflow agent can vary greatly.
  • Session: A session is a conversation between an end-user and a Dialogflow agent. A session remains active and its data is stored for 30 minutes after the last request is sent for the session. A session can be either a chat session or a voice session.
    • Chat session: A chat session only uses text for both requests and responses.
    • Voice session: A voice session uses audio for requests, responses, or both.
  • Consumer projects and resource projects: If you use multiple projects, it is possible that the project associated with your request authentication (consumer project) is not the same project that is associated with the agent in the request (resource project). In this case, the consumer project is used to determine prices and quotas. For more information, see Using multiple projects for Dialogflow ES or Using multiple projects for Conversational Agents (Dialogflow CX).

The following tables provide a pricing comparison for editions by agent type. Unless a feature is indicated as included, pricing is cumulative for all features used by a request.

Conversational Agents (Dialogflow CX) has a simpler pricing model than Dialogflow ES. For example, sentiment analysis has no charge for Conversational Agents (Dialogflow CX), but sentiment analysis incurs additional charges for Dialogflow ES.
