Google BigQuery pricing : Google BigQuery is what we use to store and access all the data generated through the chatbot. On the Google BigQuery pricing page, you can find information about the various pricing options for BigQuery, including on-demand pricing and flat-rate pricing . You can also use the pricing calculator to estimate your costs based on your usage.

Many NGOs are concerned about the cost of setting up BigQuery. They are worried about running up a bill. In reality BigQuery provides a very generous free tier that you will find will suffice for several months. You need not worry till your storage exceeds 10GB and queries 1TB / month!

Google also sends notifications before billing you and provides you mechanisms like quotas to help control price. Learn more about these here :

Google Datastudio: Google Data Studio is a free tool for creating interactive reports and dashboards. When you use BigQuery as a data source in Data Studio, the cost of your BigQuery usage will depend on the queries executed as a result of your Data Studio reports and dashboards. If your reports and dashboards involve complex or frequent queries, the cost of your BigQuery usage may increase.

Glific consulting: Features and use cases specific to your organisation can be implemented on consulting basis. We will provide you a cost estimate for your approval before building it for you.
