Vertex AI costs, allocated and explained
GCP BigQuery billing export (project isolation or per-call labels)
How Costory connects to Vertex AI
Costory ingests Vertex AI through GCP BigQuery billing export (project isolation or per-call labels). Vertex AI spend is normalized into the same cost model as your other providers and allocated with GCP project per team, request labels.
Questions you can ask
“What is Gemini spend on Vertex by project and label?”
“How much of Vertex output cost is reasoning tokens?”
“Show Vertex next to OpenAI and Anthropic in one view.”
Good to know
Gemini 3.x bills internal reasoning as output tokens; regional endpoints carry a premium.
