The following text was converted from Japanese to English by Google Translate. I’m sorry if there is a rude sentence.

I’ve never signed up for or used Google Cloud, but I would like to use Google Cloud Vision API because it looks interesting. As far as I can see from the VisionAPI pricing list, it says that up to 1000 tokens are free, but it costs $300 per month to use Google Cloud.
I checked the monthly cost when using the Google Cloud Vision API.
Is it correct to say “Google Cloud usage fee ($300 per month) + Vision API usage fee (pay-as-you-go)”?
Or just “Vision API usage fee (pay-as-you-go)” … Will it be?
If you know more, please let me know.

上記の日本語訳は以下の通りになります。

Google Cloudを一度も契約・利用したことがないのですが、Google Cloud VisionAPIが面白そうで利用してみたいと考えています。VisionAPIの料金表を確認する限り、1000トークンまでは無料とありますが、Google Cloudを利用するのに月額300ドルかかるとあります。
Google Cloud VisionAPIを利用する場合の月額でかかる費用を確認したのですが、「Google Cloud利用料？（月額300ドル）＋VisionAPI利用料（従量課金）」という認識で合っていますでしょうか？もしくは「VisionAPI利用料（従量課金）」だけ…になるのでしょうか？お詳しい方がいらっしゃったらご教示ください。

Hi,

Do you have a link to where it says it costs $300 per month to use Google Cloud?

I ask because I’m not aware of such, unless this is localized to a country. Are you by any chance confusing this with the free $300 credit you get when you first sign up to use any of the services/products under Google cloud?

It will be “Vision API usage fee (pay-as-you-go)”. There is no fixed monthly $300 fee to use Google Cloud.
