Dimension | Cost/hour |
|---|---|
c7i.2xlarge Recommended | $1.58 |

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the EC2 instance size you run, with no per-API-call charge. All five options run the same toolkit with unlimited API calls; they differ only in compute capacity. c7i.large offers the fewest cores, suited to testing. c7i.xlarge, c7i.2xlarge, c7i.4xlarge, and c7i.8xlarge step up CPU and memory for larger batch and production workloads. Billing tracks measured machine-hours through your AWS account, so cost scales with instance size and uptime. You can run multiple instances and auto-scale to match demand.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You are billed per hour of EC2 instance uptime, measured as machine-hours through your AWS account. Each running instance accrues charges by the hour. API calls are not billed at all. Every listed instance type includes unlimited API calls, so your cost depends only on instance size and running time.
Software charges apply per running instance-hour. A stopped instance accrues no software charge, though underlying AWS storage may still bill separately. You can run multiple instances at once and add auto-scaling. Each active instance meters its own hours, so cost rises and falls with the number running.
All types run the same toolkit with unlimited calls; they differ in CPU cores and memory. c7i.large fits testing. c7i.xlarge handles small-to-medium batch work. c7i.2xlarge, c7i.4xlarge, and c7i.8xlarge add cores and memory for concurrent processing, larger files, and production workloads. Choose based on volume, file size, and operation complexity.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
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.
