## Pricing
- Adding, updating, or deleting rows will use 0.01 updates per row changed
- Getting rows will use 0.001 updates per row retrieved

## Previous Versions
If you use a stash, updates will be charged only when you commit your stash. Deleting a stash will not use updates.

All other calls will not use updates, such as creating tables, listing tables, or getting row versions.

- Is the most performant way to programatically interact with Big Tables
- Is capable of ingesting much larger data sets through the use of [stashing](/api-reference/v2/stashing/introduction)
- Does not require application scoping (i.e., no `appId` is required)
- Only operates on Big Tables data sources
