At least AWS gives me an invoice each month with a break down of fees. GCP just sends an invoice for the total amount. No detail, no breakdown. And I have never gotten any of GCP's many different pages under their billing system to spit out any numbers that make sense. Pick your poison?

Check out https://cloud.google.com/billing/docs/how-to/export-data-big... - you can configure GCP to spit out pricing data to bigquery, to be queried however you like.

(I don't think it produces a volume of data that escapes the free tier, but I'd have to check)

If I remember correctly, they charge for the BigQuery table you use for the detailed export. In other words: there's a charge for seeing detailed charges!

All other clouds provide a detailed cost breakdown report for free.
