Google Cloud makes it easy to get started without spending any money. GCP offers two complementary programmes — the Free Trial (a time-limited credit) and Always Free (a set of services with permanently free usage tiers). Understanding these programmes helps you learn GCP, build prototypes, and run small workloads without incurring charges.
The GCP Free Trial provides new customers with $300 in free credit to use across any GCP service over a 90-day period. This is one of the most generous free trials among major cloud providers.
| Feature | Detail |
|---|---|
| Credit amount | $300 USD |
| Duration | 90 days from sign-up |
| Services covered | All GCP services (compute, storage, networking, AI, etc.) |
| Credit card required | Yes (for identity verification, but you will not be charged unless you upgrade) |
| Automatic upgrade | No — when the trial ends, your resources are stopped (not deleted). You must explicitly upgrade to a paid account. |
| Restrictions | No more than 8 vCPUs running simultaneously; no GPUs or TPUs; no Windows Server VMs |
