How it works
- How is Gemini grounding cost calculated?
- Total queries = prompts per month × searches per prompt. Billable = max(0, total − free quota). Cost = billable ÷ 1,000 × $14 (default). Example: 8,000 queries with 5,000 free → 3,000 billable → $42.
- What is the free quota?
- Gemini 3 and newer Grounding with Google Search includes 5,000 free search requests per month (shared). Change the free-quota field if your project differs.
- Is billing per prompt or per search query?
- For Gemini 3+, Google bills each search query the model runs. One prompt can trigger multiple billable queries—use searches per prompt > 1 when that matches your logs.
- Does this include Gemini token charges?
- No. This page is grounding/search tool fees only. Use the Gemini token cost calculator for input/output tokens.
- Can Google change grounding prices?
- Yes. Estimates only; Google AI pricing pages prevail.
