AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
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.
If you are an AWS Free Tier customer with a free plan, you are eligible to subscribe to this offer. You can use free credits to cover the cost of eligible AWS infrastructure. See AWS Free Tier for more details. If you created an AWS account before July 15th, 2025, and qualify for the Legacy AWS Free Tier, Amazon EC2 charges for Micro instances are free for up to 750 hours per month. See Legacy AWS Free Tier for more details.
You pay by the hour for a hardened Debian 13 machine image. Pricing attaches to the EC2 instance type you run, so your rate scales with the size and family of compute you choose. Smaller instances carry lower hourly rates, while larger and specialized types (compute, memory, storage, GPU, and high-memory) cost more per hour. You are billed only for the hours each instance runs, with no upfront commitment. The software charge applies on top of standard AWS infrastructure fees. Select the instance type that matches your workload to control cost.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does the hourly rate cover, and what am I paying AWS for separately?
The hourly rate covers the hardened Debian 13 software image only. You pay AWS separately for the underlying EC2 compute, storage, and data transfer. The two charges appear together on your AWS bill. Your software rate depends on the instance type you select.
Am I charged the software fee when my instance is stopped or powered off?
The software fee meters running instance-hours only. A fully stopped instance does not accrue the hourly software charge. You may still pay AWS for attached storage such as EBS volumes while the instance is stopped. Charges resume when you restart the instance.
Does my hourly rate change if I switch to a different instance type or family?
Yes. The rate attaches to the specific EC2 instance type you run. Moving to a compute, memory, storage, GPU, or high-memory family changes the hourly software charge. You are billed at the new rate from the hours the new instance runs. Match the type to your workload to manage cost.
