Hi team — we're on GrowthBook Cloud and reviewing our usage costs. The only variable charge on our invoices is "Tracked Events" ($0.03 / 1K); CDN requests and bandwidth are within the free tier. We currently use the managed warehouse ingestor for experiment exposures. We're considering moving to self-hosted tracking instead — routing the SDK tracking callback to GA4, exporting to our own BigQuery, and connecting BigQuery to GrowthBook as a data source just for results. could you confirm: 1. If we stop using the Managed Warehouse ingestor and send exposures to our own GA4/BigQuery pipeline, will the Tracked Events charge be removed or reduced on our current plan? 2. Would any other usage-based charge apply in a BigQuery-as-data-source setup (query volume, API calls, a different metered line)?

Thanks for reaching out and for outlining your setup. Based on our public docs: • Using your own GA4 → BigQuery pipeline and connecting BigQuery as a data source is treated as a “Bring Your Own Warehouse” setup, which is described as free from the GrowthBook side, with you only paying your own warehouse costs.[Choose data path] • However, the docs do not explicitly say how this affects the “Tracked Events” line item. Please let me confirm with our account team and get back to you.
Thank you for your patience. I have confirmed with the team that
Tracked Events
will be removed once you have migrated to self-managed warehouse. Regarding 2, if you exceed CDN usage limit on GrowthBook cloud, it may still incur usage charge, unless you decide to go with self-hosted GrowthBook application as well. Here is more information about CDN Usage Limits I hope this information helps.
