BigQuery ML
Machine Learning
Machine learning in BigQuery using SQL
- From
- Free
- Free plan
- Yes
The short version
- Each has a real cost: BigQuery ML not available in BigQuery's Standard edition, so the cheapest tier cannot use it; Wordtune the free Basic plan is limited to 10 rewrites and AI suggestions per day
- They diverge on capability: BigQuery ML covers SQL-based ML, Wordtune covers Rewriting.
- Prices and features above were last checked on 30 August 2026.

Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
BigQuery ML
- Not available in BigQuery's Standard edition, so the cheapest tier cannot use it
- Billed through BigQuery compute and storage rather than as its own product, so training cost tracks data scanned
- Remote models incur extra Agent Platform charges on top
- Externally trained model types such as boosted trees and AutoML run through Agent Platform rather than inside BigQuery
Wordtune
- The free Basic plan is limited to 10 rewrites and AI suggestions per day
- The free Basic plan is limited to 3 AI summarizations per month
- The Advanced plan caps usage at 30 rewrites per day and 15 AI summarizations per month
- SAML SSO, centralized billing and business support are excluded from all three self-serve plans (Basic, Advanced and Unlimited)
- The advertised $4.89 and $6.99 per month rates are billed annually; paying monthly costs $6.99 and $9.99
- Wordtune does not offer refunds, only cancellation before the next billing cycle
- The free trial lasts 3 days and requires payment information before it starts
