Any info on the pricing? Amazon always has its pricing info along with any announcements. and yes I like this chatboot API from google, to compete with amazon lex/polly. Competition will bring out the best for developers.

Their basic unsupported tier (up to 1 query/sec on avg) is free. You have to contact them if you want pricing for a supported plan.

This type of opaque pricing normally annoys me, but they were recently acquired by Google so I expect the pricing to eventually become more transparent and most likely be fairly reasonable.

It's free.

just registered and got an email saying, for pricing please email [email protected], so I guess it is not free, and it needs not to be, just not enough straightforward info comparing to Amazon's announcements.
