I haven't been involved on the pricing side, so I'm not exactly aware of the costs, although we did analyze log retention costs, but overall, I'm not sure how Google App Engine compares to other providers.
Google App Engine's pricing seemed reasonable to my employer. However, I cannot make comparisons as I don't have experience with other managed services.

Compared to competitors, I would rate the pricing of Google App Engine as 8.5 out of 10. The pricing is the lowest in its category, though it could be reduced further since some features aren't always utilized.
The pricing of Google App Engine largely depends on the features chosen; if we opt for the standard edition, it is less expensive, while the flexible option incurs more costs due to always having an instance running. The pricing can vary from user to user and their specific applications. Overall, I would rate the pricing around 7.5 out of 10.
The pricing is a pay-as-you-go model. For F1 usage with 256 MB, it is free. F2 with 512 MB costs approximately 0.05 USD. F4 with 1 GB varies from 0.10 to 0.15 USD. It is billed per instance and hour, based on memory and CPUs.

If we don't know how to work with the tool, we might have some spikes in price. It will increase a lot of our bill. I rate the pricing a six out of ten.
We pay the license yearly. It's about $6 a month, which is $72 a year per person, so it's about $500. I would give the pricing a 2 on a scale of 1 to 5. The pricing is really not bad. The kill is that my country's economy is causing problems. So with each passing day, our currency loses value, and it sort of looks more expensive each day.
Google App Engine is a Platform-as-a-Service (Paas) provider that equips web application developers with all the resources and tools that they need to develop, test, and run their applications on Google's infrastructure. Everything is built into the kit, so with one download of the SDK, you'll be well on your way to first-rate apps.
Google App Engine is affordable compared to other available platforms. The pricing structure is reasonable and not overrated.

I believe it is reasonably priced. I've never heard anyone express that the licenses are too expensive.

We use the paid version under the standard environment and it's relatively expensive compared to other services.

The pricing is okay. It's not too expensive.
I would like to have more free application with it. Some of the applications, I am paying more for them. I think that they must be free.
