Pricing
Pricing is based on actual usage, with charges varying according to how much you consume. Subscriptions have no end date and may be canceled any time. Alternatively, you can pay upfront for a contract, which typically covers your anticipated usage for the contract duration. Any usage beyond contract will incur additional usage-based costs.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
Dimension | Cost/hour |
|---|---|
m6i.xlarge Recommended | $1.93 |
m5.4xlarge | $3.58 |
m5.large | $1.40 |
m5.xlarge | $1.93 |
m6i.4xlarge | $3.58 |

m5.2xlarge | $2.67 |
t3.medium | $0.91 |
m6i.2xlarge | $2.67 |
Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the compute instance that runs Ignition Cloud Edition. Pricing scales with the AWS EC2 instance you select, so the dimensions are instance sizes, not feature tiers. Options span two instance families, m5 and m6i, in sizes from t3.medium up to 4xlarge. Larger instances offer more CPU and memory and carry a higher hourly rate. You choose the size that matches your workload and can scale up or down over time. All sizes include the same bundled modules and support.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You pay for hourly usage of the running instance. When the instance is stopped, the hourly software charge stops accruing. Underlying AWS storage or other resources may still incur separate AWS fees, but the Cloud Edition charge meters running time only.
Each rate covers Ignition Cloud Edition with its bundled modules, including visualization, reporting, historian, and MQTT and OPC UA connectivity. It also includes support you activate through your cloud account. It does not include device drivers or Edge licenses, which you purchase separately.
You can run redundancy by starting two separate EC2 instances, likely using two different images. Each running instance meters its own hourly charge. So a redundant setup roughly doubles the hourly cost, since you pay per active instance.

Remote alerts have improved real-time monitoring of beef processing and quality issues
Reviewed on Sep 04, 2026
Review provided by PeerSpot
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for Ignition Cloud Edition was to view Tyson food plants' beef slaughter lines where they took care of the cattle. I use Ignition Cloud Edition to show the lines and all the systems and send alerts and statuses to the database.
A specific example of how I used it in that context is if there was an issue with the way a part of a cow was sliced or skinned, it would alert my phone for the admin.
What is most valuable?
The best features Ignition Cloud Edition offers are the ability to set alerts on a system and access that remotely.
Ignition Cloud Edition has positively impacted my organization as they do a ton of their work with it. They do almost all their work with it.
What needs improvement?
I think Ignition Cloud Edition could be more intuitive on how to use it.
When I'm trying to accomplish something, I pretty much have to have the certification to really know how to get it done or look it up.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Ignition Cloud Edition for about three months total.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Ignition Cloud Edition is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I am not too informed on Ignition Cloud Edition's scalability, but I would say it's pretty good because it's used for a very large system.
How are customer service and support?
The customer support for Ignition Cloud Edition is good. I had an issue, and I reached out to Ignition Cloud Edition and they responded in a timely manner.
I would rate the customer support as a nine on a scale of one to ten.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that I was an intern, so I do not really know.
What other advice do I have?
My advice to others looking into using Ignition Cloud Edition is to get the certification or licensing.

Cloud platform has transformed maintenance by centralizing diagnostics and improving collaboration
Reviewed on Sep 04, 2026
Review provided by PeerSpot
What is our primary use case?
When I first consider Ignition Cloud Edition, the first word that comes to my mind is flexibility. I developed an entire SCADA platform to monitor my site, focusing on maintenance of PLCs and DCS hardware. This allows us to collect maintenance data from the controllers in the field.
We have many controllers in the field, including Siemens controllers, Rockwell controllers, and DeltaV controllers. All these controllers have diagnostics from the card, from the point in the card, such as digital input, output inputs, analog outputs, and analog inputs. Every point of the controller and every IO has a diagnostic, and I used Ignition Cloud Edition to send this data to the cloud.
What is most valuable?
One of the best features that Ignition Cloud Edition offers is the combination of industrial automation and modern software architecture. Traditionally, when we think about industrial automation, we think about PLCs, SCADA systems, local servers, HMIs, historians, and all of that is still extremely important.
The combination of industrial automation and modern software architecture in Ignition Cloud Edition has benefited my projects by providing improved scalability and flexibility for analytics data, dashboards, centralized data, and remote visibility.
Regarding the features of Ignition Cloud Edition, I really value the development environment. For me, a dashboard should be more than just a collection of numbers; it should tell you something. For example, if I'm looking at a production board or a dashboard, I don't just want to see production numbers; I want to understand if production is on target, if the process is stable, and other relevant factors.
Ignition Cloud Edition has had a very positive impact on our organization, especially in the way we access and use industrial data. One of the biggest benefits is that it allows us to create more centralized and accessible applications.
Centralized access through Ignition Cloud Edition has improved collaboration between automation engineering, operations, and management, as everyone can access the information they need from a different perspective depending on their role.
What needs improvement?
From my perspective, one area that Ignition Cloud Edition could be improved is the learning curve. Ignition Cloud Edition is powerful, and that is a good thing, but because it is powerful, there is a lot to learn. If you are new to the platform, you have to understand tags, databases, scripting, perspective, security, alarms, historical data, gateways, and many other concepts, which can be overwhelming for someone starting from zero. I would love to see even more guided experiences for new users.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Ignition Cloud Edition for almost three or four years before I changed my job recently.
What other advice do I have?
The impact on our daily operations and maintenance workflow is significant because the operators or the company that does the maintenance can see an overall summary of the controls in the field, such as controller five, card fifty, input eight, allowing us to see the macro view.
Ignition Cloud Edition has made it easier to perform maintenance.
Regarding Ignition Cloud Edition's capabilities, I feel that it provides a strong foundation for security and governance. I wouldn't say that it removes all cybersecurity concerns, but it gives us a more structured platform to build on, which I believe is one of the important advantages of the cloud approach, as we can focus more on the application and the business or process problem while still having a professional infrastructure underneath it.
From a governance perspective, Ignition Cloud Edition also helps us control who can access applications and data and how that access is managed.
I would rate this product a ten.
