Getting started with Amazon Lex

Getting started

1 Sign up for AWS Free Tier

With the AWS Free Tier, you can get 10,000 text requests & 5,000 speech Lex requests per month for 12 months.

Starting July 15, 2025, new AWS customers will receive up to $200 in AWS Free Tier credits, which can be applied towards eligible AWS services, including Amazon Lex. At account sign-up, you can choose between a free plan and a paid plan. The free plan will be available for 6 months after account creation. If you upgrade to a paid plan, any remaining Free Tier credit balance will automatically apply to your AWS bills. All Free Tier credits must be used within 12 months of your account creation date. To learn more about the AWS Free Tier program, refer to AWS Free Tier website and AWS Free Tier documentation.
