Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the software running on your chosen EC2 instance. Each dimension maps to one AWS instance type, so the list reflects the many hardware sizes available rather than separate product tiers. Pricing scales with the instance you pick: smaller instances like t2.nano or t3.micro cost less per hour, while larger compute, memory, storage, or GPU instances cost more. Choose the instance that fits your workload's CPU, memory, and accelerator needs. Billing is usage-based with no upfront commitment, so charges track the hours you run. Vendor support is included with the listing.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
One unit is one running EC2 instance of the type you select, billed per hour. The rate bundles the Artalk software license and vendor support with that specific instance size. You pay separately to AWS for the underlying compute, storage, and network resources.
The software charge meters running hours only. When you stop an instance, the hourly software fee stops accruing. Stopped instances may still incur AWS storage fees for attached volumes, but those are separate AWS charges, not the software license.
Yes. Each instance type has its own hourly rate. If you move your workload to a larger or smaller instance, your hourly charge changes to match that type. The change takes effect when you launch the new instance; there is no upfront commitment tying you to one type.
