Amazon SQS Pricing

Pay only for what you use. There is no minimum fee. Estimate your monthly bill using the AWS Simple Monthly Calculator.

Free Tier*
You can get started with Amazon SQS for free. New and existing customers receive 1 million Amazon SQS queuing requests for free each month. Some applications may be able to operate within this free tier limit.

Requests

  • $0.50 per 1 million Amazon SQS Requests ($0.0000005 per SQS Request)
  • Batches of up to 10 messages or 64KB per request cost the same amount as single messages.

Amazon SQS requests are: CreateQueue, ListQueues, DeleteQueue, SendMessage, SendMessageBatch, ReceiveMessage, ChangeMessageVisibility, ChangeMessageVisibilityBatch, DeleteMessage, DeleteMessageBatch, SetQueueAttributes, GetQueueAttributes, GetQueueUrl, AddPermission, and RemovePermission.

Data Transfer**

The pricing below is based on data transferred “in” and “out” of Amazon SQS.

Data transfer “in” and “out” refers to transfer into and out of Amazon SQS. Data transferred between Amazon SQS and Amazon EC2 within a single region is free of charge (i.e., $0.00 per GB). Data transferred between Amazon SQS and Amazon EC2 in different regions will be charged at Internet Data Transfer rates on both sides of the transfer.

* Your free usage is calculated each month across all regions and automatically applied to your bill – free usage does not accumulate.
** As part of AWS’s Free Usage Tier, new AWS customers will receive free 15 GB of data transfer out each month aggregated across all AWS services for one year.
*** Data transfer out rate tiers aggregate outbound data transfer across Amazon EC2, Amazon EBS, Amazon S3, Amazon Glacier, Amazon RDS, Amazon SimpleDB, Amazon SQS, Amazon SNS, Amazon DynamoDB, AWS Storage Gateway, and Amazon VPC.
