Google Cloud DNS
Google Cloud's managed authoritative DNS, billed per managed zone and per query.
Teams on Google Cloud get the lowest per-zone rate of the metered hyperscaler DNS services: about $0.20 per zone per month for the first 25, falling to $0.10 and then $0.03 above 10,000 zones. Queries cost $0.40 per million up to 1B a month, the same as Route 53 and Azure DNS, while routing policy queries cost $0.70/M. Zones are billed hourly, with no free allowance and no EU data residency option.
