<p>I registered google cloud account and want to use Text-To-Speech API on my own server with <a href="http://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-php" rel="nofollow noreferrer">github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-php</a> library. </p>

<p>On API page in block "Pricing" written that using less than 1 millon chracters/month is free. But lower is a note
"Additional charges may also apply from infrastructure you use to call the API"</p>

<p>Question:
This note applies to users google cloud VPS, right? If I will use API how I described (send requests from my own server) first million of characters will be absolutely free? Google wont take a cent?</p>

I registered google cloud account and want to use Text-To-Speech API on my own server with [github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-php](http://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-php) library.

On API page in block "Pricing" written that using less than 1 millon chracters/month is free. But lower is a note
"Additional charges may also apply from infrastructure you use to call the API"

Question:
This note applies to users google cloud VPS, right? If I will use API how I described (send requests from my own server) first million of characters will be absolutely free? Google wont take a cent?

Yes, they mean the [Compute Engine](https://cloud.google.com/compute/). So you pay Google only for API, not for server.
