# IMPORTANT NOTE

Google has postponed the launch to April 2026 and has implemented a preview function of the estimated cost when editing an alerting policy. This estimate is considered much more accurate because `appe` can currently only use the total number of time series in the estimation period (30 days). In reality, this may fluctuate causing `appe` to produce an over-estimation.
As of this time, Google has not made the underlying data for their calculation available via any metric or API. If this changes in the future, `appe` will be updated to produce more accurate results.

# appe - Alerting Policy Price Estimator

Starting April 2025, Google will begin charging for [Alerting Policies](https://cloud.google.com/monitoring/alerts).
Starting April 2026, Google will begin charging for [Alerting Policies](https://cloud.google.com/monitoring/alerts).

While Google has provided [documentation and examples](https://cloud.google.com/stackdriver/pricing#pricing-alerting), it is still very hard to actually estimate the cost of an Alerting Policy, let alone if you have dozens or possible hundreds of them.
Using `appe`, you can easily estimate the price of not just an individual Alerting Policy, but all of them in your entire organization using a single command.
