New customers to Google Cloud get US $300 (approx. ₹26,781.76) in free credits to explore and build on the platform. Additionally, there are 20+ “always free” products (e.g., compute, storage, data warehouse, serverless) available with monthly usage limits that don’t expire.
You can do many things with these $300 free credits:

- You can run AI models using Vertex AI (LLMs, image generation, embeddings).
- You can store large files, images, backups using Cloud Storage.
- You can run Firestore / Cloud SQL databases for your apps.
- You can analyze big datasets cheaply with BigQuery.
- You can automate tasks with Cloud Functions (scrapers, cron jobs, lead processors).
- You can test different architectures and experiment with cloud infra.
- You can host small servers for dev/testing (APIs, game servers, personal tools).
- You can basically run almost any small-to-medium cloud project for 2–3 months without paying.
These free-tier products are available “for eligible customers” and are not charged against the free credit. You can take advantage of Google APIs with limited access.
