Firebase indicates the cost for cloud scheduler jobs as $0.10 here: https://firebase.google.com/docs/functions/schedule-functions

Does that mean you would be charged $864 dollars per month if you had a job that ran every 5 minutes???

Updated: Even though answered, just to clarify the reason I asked the question is because the docs referenced did not distinguish between a "job" and as Doug mentioned, the invocation. If you are going to down-vote, it would be helpful to understand why. Thanks.

    I’m voting to close this question because this question is about product pricing. Please use the established costumer support channels for sales of the product. – Braiam Jul 27 '20 at 15:41

No, the cost is per job definition, not per job invocation. If you define 3 jobs, it's $0.30 per month, no matter how many times they execute.

  • Thanks Doug, that's what I wanted but didn't see anything in the documentation explicitly addressing invocation or execution. Much appreciated. – Love to Code Jul 26 '20 at 17:31

    Bear in mind that you are also still paying Cloud Functions cost per invocation on top of the scheduler cost. – Doug Stevenson Jul 26 '20 at 17:36
  • Understood. Thanks. – Love to Code Jul 26 '20 at 18:05

    @LovetoCode the first 3 jobs are free: https://cloud.google.com/scheduler/pricing – Tunerx Mar 05 '21 at 07:43
  • @DougStevenson `Each Google billing account gets 3 jobs per month free. Note that the free tier is measured at the account level not the project level. For example, if your account has 5 projects with 2 jobs each, you will have 3 free jobs and 7 paid jobs.` so if i only have 3 jobs then its free!? – Learn2Code Sep 13 '22 at 00:45
