You pay by the hour based on the EC2 instance type you run this software on. Each dimension maps to a specific instance size, so pricing scales with the compute capacity you choose. Smaller instances like t3.nano and m1.small carry lower hourly rates. Larger instances such as the metal, 24xlarge, and 48xlarge sizes carry higher rates because they offer more CPU and memory. General-purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage, and GPU families are all covered. You only pay for the hours your chosen instance actually runs, with no upfront commitment.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hourly unit cover for billing purposes?
Each hourly unit covers one running EC2 instance of the type you selected. You pay the software rate for every hour that instance runs. The rate matches the instance family and size, so larger instances cost more per hour because they provide more CPU and memory.
Am I charged when my instance is stopped or paused?
Software charges accrue only while your instance runs. A stopped or paused instance stops the hourly software charge. You may still pay underlying AWS fees for storage or reserved resources, but the software meters running hours only. There is no upfront commitment.
Is this pay-as-you-go, or do I commit upfront?
This is pay-as-you-go. You pay per instance-hour with no upfront commitment. Charges start when an instance runs and stop when it stops. This suits variable workloads where you launch and terminate instances as needed rather than paying a fixed fee.
