When it comes to pricing and licensing for Google Cloud SQL we obtain licenses separately from third-party vendors for our application, while our database uses community-source licensing. The solution is paid for on a monthly basis.
The solution is affordable. I rate it a six out of ten. We have a monthly license.

The licensing is charged yearly, however, I don't manage the cost of the cloud in my company. I only work with Atlassian products. We are users of GCP for our instance. When I work with data in Google Cloud, our data people say the cost is not a problem. I can make a dump of databases daily and store extractions in buckets, for example, every day, full data, all days. And it's not a problem, cost-wise.
It's really cheap. It wouldn't be more than, I believe it's around 50 euro per month for running a cloud SQL.
There aren't any additional costs that I'm aware of.

The pricing is interesting. For the enterprise edition, it was almost three times the cost of the standard edition. There should be some more clarity on that. It was not very clear why it's so much more or what the differences are. It requires better documentation.
View full review »The advice I would give before starting up is to have a small interactive introductory session with some domain experts because even though it looks quite similar to MySQL and all the other SQL solutions out there, Google Cloud SQL lets me do a lot more. And it offers a lot of perks if you know how exactly to handle the product. So even if it is with a small, introductory session of two hours or three hours long, where the experts tell me that, "Hey, this is the whole scope of this solution or the product but it will be scaled up," it will help the end-users a lot because the documentation itself is not that extensive.

It is not expensive, especially considering the significant reduction in database management time.
Licensing is not applicable; pricing is reasonable. Slightly more expensive than corresponding Google Compute Engine instance.
