Pay-as-you-go

Pay-as-you-go approach for the vast majority of our cloud services
You pay only for the individual services you need, for as long as you use them

Save when you commit

Savings for a 1-year or 3-year commitment
Increased savings with higher commitment
Additional savings for upfront payment vs. monthly payments

EC2 Commitment	Monthly cost	Discount
None (pay-as-you-go)	$734.67	0%
1-year commitment	$487.07	33.07%
3-year commitment	$332.15	54.78%

Pay less by using more
