To understand how BigQuery pricing works, it is important to break down the cost into these three categories - free operations, the cost for storage and the cost for analysis, essentially the cost of querying data. Let's begin with the free operations. We already touched upon the fact that when it comes to batch loading using a shared slot pool that is where we don't explicitly purchase slots or VMs, we don't incur any costs. Furthermore, deleting of data sets, tables and views also don't carry any associated costs. Copying and exporting data are also free.
