Staying within those free limits on Blaze means no charge and no bill for the month; usage above limits is billed at existing rates. The Spark and Flame plans are unchanged. New budget alerts and thresholds can be configured in the Firebase Console billing section, and the change also makes it easier to adopt Google Cloud Platform services without losing Firebase's free tier. Minor differences exist between Spark and Blaze free usage calculations, such as daily vs monthly calculation, billing-account-level limits for Cloud Functions (2M invocations/month, 400K GB-second/month, 200K CPU-seconds/month, 5 GB outbound networking/month), and device-minute limits for Test Lab (30 physical, 60 virtual minutes/day). ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### Does the Firebase Blaze plan include free usage limits like the Spark plan? Yes, Firebase changed the Blaze pay-as-you-go plan so it includes the same free usage limits offered on the Spark free plan. If usage stays within those limits, no bill is generated for the month; usage above the limits is charged at the existing Blaze rates. The Spark and Flame plans remain unchanged. _Developers weighing Firebase pricing tiers can follow plan changes like this on daily.dev._ ### How is free Cloud Functions usage calculated on the Firebase Blaze plan? Free usage for Cloud Functions on the Blaze plan is calculated at the billing account level rather than per project, since multiple projects can share one billing account. The limits are 2M invocations per month, 400K GB-seconds per month, 200K CPU-seconds per month, and 5 GB of outbound networking per month. _Teams budgeting Cloud Functions costs can track pricing details like this on daily.dev._ ### What are the free Firebase Test Lab usage limits on the Blaze plan? Test Lab free usage on the Blaze plan is measured in device minutes per day rather than tests per day. The limits are 30 physical device minutes per day and 60 virtual device minutes per day. _Developers planning app testing budgets can keep up with limits like these on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Medium](https://daily.dev/posts/medium-jvobby0wg) · Medium · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Introducing Firebase spend caps](https://daily.dev/posts/introducing-firebase-spend-caps-iygfnrfcv) · Firebase · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Unexpected €54k billing spike in 13 hours: Firebase browser key without API restrictions used for Gemini requests](https://daily.dev/posts/unexpected-54k-billing-spike-in-13-hours-firebase-browser-key-without-api-restrictions-used-for-ge-gp0btcaha) · Hacker News · 2 upvotes · 1 comments - [Optimize your Firebase Remote Config usage](https://daily.dev/posts/optimize-your-firebase-remote-config-usage-woddfd7ym) · Firebase · 1 upvotes · 1 comments - [The Starter Tier for Google AI Studio explained](https://daily.dev/posts/the-starter-tier-for-google-ai-studio-explained-sztjvm7au) · Google Cloud · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#gcp](https://daily.dev/tags/gcp), [#firebase](https://daily.dev/tags/firebase), [#gcp-cloud-functions](https://daily.dev/tags/gcp-cloud-functions) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/adding-free-usage-to-blaze-pricing-plan-dfgabtuvi) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Adding free usage to Blaze pricing plan","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/adding-free-usage-to-blaze-pricing-plan-dfgabtuvi","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/adding-free-usage-to-blaze-pricing-plan-dfgabtuvi"},"datePublished":"2026-08-23T12:19:05.269Z","dateModified":"2026-08-23T12:27:49.223Z","description":"Firebase's Blaze (pay-as-you-go) plan now includes the same free usage tier offered on the Spark (free) plan.
