Sparrow Community Edition is free software. You pay nothing for the license itself. The two dimensions are hourly compute options for running the software on AWS: t3.medium and t2.medium. These are not feature tiers. They are different EC2 instance types you choose based on your compute needs. Any hourly charges come from the underlying AWS infrastructure, not the Sparrow software. Pick the instance type that fits your workload and performance requirements.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What compute resources come with the t3.medium and t2.medium options?
Both are AWS EC2 instance types with 2 virtual CPUs and 4 GB of memory. The t3.medium uses a newer processor generation and burstable performance credits. The t2.medium is an older burstable type. You pick based on your performance needs and workload size.
Am I charged when the instance is stopped or paused?
The Sparrow Community Edition software is free, so no software charge applies. The hourly charges come from the underlying AWS instance. A fully stopped instance does not accrue instance-hour charges. Stopped instances may still incur AWS storage fees for attached volumes.
How does the hourly billing work across these two options?
Each option meters actual running time by the hour with no upfront commitment. You are billed only while the chosen instance runs. Switching between t3.medium and t2.medium means launching a different instance type; the two are not billed together at the same time.

An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
