The pricing for Firebase Hosting is based upon your project's usage of the
following:
Hosting storage
(GB) ? The amount of storage space
required to store the content of your Hosting sites (your static files and
your configuration files).
Data transfer
(GB/month) ? The amount of data
transferred to end users from our CDN. Every Hosting site is automatically
backed by our global CDN at no charge.
Your Hosting quota is project-level, not site-level or channel-level. You
can upgrade your project to the Blaze billing plan to unlock additional paid
storage and data transfer levels. Learn more about
quotas and pricing for Firebase Hosting
.
We recommend setting up
budget alerts
for your project in the Google Cloud console.
Monitor both your Hosting storage level and data transfer level in the
Firebase console:
Visit the
Usage
dashboard in the
Hosting
section of the console.
You can view the usage levels for different billing periods as well as for all
your Hosting sites or for each site.
Visit your project's
Usage and billing
dashboard
in the console.
Understand Hosting storage
When you deploy new content to your site, you create a "release" that points to
a specific version of content and configuration for your site. The files
associated with each release (both new releases and any retained previous
releases) are stored by Firebase. These files make up your project's Hosting
storage usage level.
This Hosting storage is independent and unrelated to any other storage for
your Firebase project (like Cloud Storage for Firebase or database storage).
Note that Hosting has a maximum size limit of 2 GB for
individual files.
Quota for Hosting storage
Storage for your Hosting content is at no cost up to
10 GB.
If you are
not
on the Blaze plan, and you reach the
10 GB limit of no-cost Hosting storage, you won't be
able to deploy new content to your sites. You'll need to
delete older releases
or
upgrade to the Blaze plan
.
If you are on the Blaze plan, and you reach the 10 GB
limit of no-cost Hosting storage, you'll be billed $0.026 for each additional
GB of Hosting storage.
Control usage of Hosting storage
To control your Hosting storage usage, here are some things you can do:
Understand Hosting data transfer
When Hosting serves one of your site's resources, data transfers from our
CDN to your end user. The requested resource might already be available in our
CDN cache (a cache hit) or it might need to come from the Hosting backend (a
cache miss). If the requested content can be cached in the CDN, it will be. Both
cache hits and misses count toward your project's Hosting data transfer
usage.
Quota for Hosting data transfer
Every Hosting site is automatically backed by our global CDN at no charge.
Data transfer from the CDN to your end users is at no cost up to
10 GB/month.
If you are
not
on the Blaze plan, and you reach the
10 GB/month limit of no-cost data transfer, we
offer a short grace period but then your sites will be disabled. Your sites
will remain disabled until the start of the next month because data transfer
billing is based on
monthly
usage levels. You can reenable your sites
immediately by
upgrading to the
Blaze plan
.
If you are on the Blaze plan, and you reach the
10 GB/month limit of no-cost data transfer, you'll be
billed $0.15 for each additional GB of data transferred that month.
Control usage of Hosting data transfer
To control your Hosting data transfer usage, here are some things you can
do:
Fine-tune the client-side caching of your content so that browsers don't need
to request a resource from the CDN. Learn more about caching in the
web developer documentation
.
Avoid loading images and videos that you don't actually need to display.
Create service workers to handle certain requests.
If you load Firebase SDKs via reserved Hosting URLs, make sure to read
important information about the
reserved namespace for these URLs
.
Here are some resources to help you set up service workers, especially with a
PWA:
