Google Cloud: AI Commerce Search pricing revealed ($2.50-$6.00/1000 queries)
What happened
Between the Apr 21, 2026 and Jun 29, 2026 captures of Google's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: AI Commerce Search (rebranded from Vertex AI Search for commerce) now discloses per-query pricing - $2.50/1000 search & browse queries, $6.00/1000 conversational queries - previously unpriced. Pulse files it as a pricing change (price revealed) with an upward direction. The current page lists AI Commerce Search - Recommendations at $0.18 per 1,000 predictions (next 280M/month) + $2.5 per node per hour (training and tuning) and AI Commerce Search - Search at $2.5 per 1,000 search/browse queries + $6 per 1,000 conversational product filtering queries.
It lands 24 days after Google's previous change, "Google Cloud reveals AI Commerce Search pricing at $2.50/1K" (Jun 8, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Google Cloud renames Vertex AI Search to Agent Search for commerce" (May 26, 2026). Google has been tracked since 2025-12-20.
In the same window Microsoft, Metabase, Anthropic and OpenAI also changed their Cloud & DevOps pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
