Does anyone know of a (free) Data Source I can use with GB for a simple evaluation? Preferably one that GB can easily be configured with.

I haven’t encountered the need to pay to use cloud with bigquery via this tutorial thus far:

on smaller datasets there may be no need to pay https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/pricing

BQ not useful as it still requires setting up a billing account even for free use!

last time I checked, it didn't, at least for daily sync. intraday did require billing account, that's true. any suggestion for something free and relatively easy to sync?
