have any other way to calculate cost ? @kapa.ai

Based on the knowledge sources, here are some ways to understand and estimate costs in Airbyte: Airbyte Cloud Credit-Based Costs Airbyte Cloud pricing is based on credits, which vary by source type: [Manage billing] You can estimate your costs by: • For API/custom sources: Counting the rows added, edited, or deleted per sync (incremental), or all rows (full refresh). • For Databases/Files: Estimating the GB of data moved. Note that Airbyte serializes data in the Airbyte Protocol format during transit, which is likely larger than what you'd see querying your database directly. [Manage billing] BigQuery Destination-Side Costs If you're using BigQuery as a destination, there's an additional layer of BigQuery compute costs. The

destination-bigquery

connector runs queries like

MAX(_airbyte_extracted_at)

on raw tables, which can scan significant data volumes. A community-suggested workaround is to create a Materialized View in BigQuery to reduce scan costs: [BigQuery cost issue]

CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW AS `airbyte_internal.xxxxx_db_eu_raw__stream_xxxxx_airbyte_extracted_at`
    SELECT MAX(_airbyte_extracted_at) AS _airbyte_extracted_at FROM `airbyte_internal.xxxxx_db_eu_raw__stream_xxxxx`

This reportedly reduced query costs from scanning GBs to just 8 bytes in testing. Monitoring via the Connection Timeline You can also review the Connection Timeline in the Airbyte UI to track data volumes per sync (GB/KB/MB moved, records extracted and loaded), which can help you manually estimate costs over time. [Connection timeline] The knowledge sources do not mention any automated cost calculator or API endpoint for cost estimation beyond these approaches. 👍 0 button 👎 0 button ℹ️ Tip: Mention @kapa.ai in the thread for follow-ups or DM the app for 1-to-1 help., with interactive elements
