Published per-GB rates

Rates below are exactly as Google Cloud CDN lists them on its own pricing page. Asia, Africa and South America are commonly 1.5x to 3x North America/Europe.

Region / band	Tier	Price per GB
Cache egress to North America	first 10 TB	$0.0800
Cache egress to Europe	first 10 TB	$0.0800
Cache egress to Asia Pacific	first 10 TB	$0.1200
Cache egress to Oceania	first 10 TB	$0.2000
Cache egress to South America	first 10 TB	$0.2000

Worked example

Acme Streaming Co. (illustrative example, not a real company) serves 30 TB/month with the mix 60% North America, 30% Europe, 10% Asia Pacific.

30 TB/month at Google Cloud CDN's cheapest published rate ($0.0200/GB):

~$614/month

Asia and other premium regions are billed at higher rates per the published table. This figure is a rack-rate floor for the dominant region, not a forecast. Acme's real invoice will include request fees, premium features (WAF, image optimisation), and any commitment-tier discounts.

Best fit and watch-out

Best for

Sites that already run on Google Cloud Load Balancing or use Media CDN for streaming.

Watch out for

Cache misses incur both cache-fill (origin to edge) and cache-egress (edge to client) charges, doubling cost on low-hit content.

When not to pick Google Cloud CDN

Your traffic is dominated by a region where this vendor lacks PoPs (check the region pricing table).
You need a flat monthly bill with no overage variance (Cloudflare or CDN77 bundles fit better).
You need WAF, bot management, image optimisation in the same SKU (see the bundles page).
You already buy compute on a hyperscaler and origin egress savings dwarf CDN egress (CloudFront for AWS, Cloud CDN for GCP, Front Door for Azure).
