Great point. I think it's a matter of different philosophies, and both are great for customers! - AWS gives you specific usage allotments per-month for specific services. - Google gives you $300 cash for 2 months to use however you please. just don't mine bitcoins or generate email spam :) - Some folks did the math on AWS free tier to total $247.20 [0]. That is, if you 100% utilize all the allotments. - Google BigQuery, Firebase, and AppEngine also have perpetual free tiers.
