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.
You pay by the hour based on the EC2 instance size you choose to run Discourse. The 22 options map to specific instance types across the t2, t3, t3a, m3, and m4 families. Pricing scales with the instance size you select. Smaller sizes like medium and large cost less per hour, while larger sizes like 2xlarge through 16xlarge cost more. You pick the instance type that matches your compute and memory needs. Software charges are billed hourly and run alongside the AWS infrastructure cost for that instance.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does the hourly software charge cover beyond running Discourse?
The hourly charge covers the packaged Discourse image maintained and supported by the vendor. You can connect the instance to the vendor's platform for real-time monitoring, automated updates, security features, and analytics. This runs on top of the underlying AWS EC2 infrastructure cost for the instance you choose.
Am I charged the hourly software fee when my instance is stopped?
The software fee meters running instance-hours only. A fully stopped instance does not accrue software charges. Stopped instances may still incur AWS storage fees for attached volumes, but those are separate from the vendor's hourly software charge and billed by AWS.
Does picking a larger instance type change how the software is billed?
The billing method stays the same across all 22 instance types — you pay per hour. The rate differs by instance family and size. Medium and large sizes carry lower hourly rates; sizes from 2xlarge up to 16xlarge carry higher rates. You match the size to your compute and memory needs.
