>constant crawling, spam attacks
It seems a bit wild if those two could make any difference in costs. I mean, if you have one visit a month and pay per megabyte then sure, Google would maybe show up in stats, but otherwise?
It's not uncommon for lightly trafficked sites to have 90% or more of their resources taken up by bots of various kinds. Remember Google isn't the only search engine and there are many crawlers that aren't search engines at all.
