AWS IoT FleetWise allows you to collect, transform, and transfer vehicle data to the cloud in near real time. You pay for two dimensions when using AWS IoT FleetWise: by number of vehicles and by number of messages.
Vehicles
For each vehicle that you create on AWS IoT FleetWise (that is, per unique vehicle name), you are charged for each vehicle, each month. Charges are not prorated for partial months, nor can you exchange one vehicle for another mid-month. If you remove a vehicle from AWS IoT FleetWise, you are no longer charged for that vehicle each month.
Messages
Vehicles send data to the cloud through messages, which you are additionally billed for. Message size can vary and is metered in 5 KB increments, so a 7 KB message would be billed as two messages.
You incur additional charges as you use other AWS services with AWS IoT FleetWise. Messages are sent using AWS IoT Core, so there will always be an accompanying cost incurred directly to AWS IoT Core. Vehicle data storage costs are also billed outside of AWS IoT FleetWise and incurred directly to storage services such as Amazon Timestream.

Pricing examples
Pricing example 1
A customer with 1,000 vehicles connected to AWS IoT FleetWise in the US East (N. Virginia) region collects basic vehicle telemetry data at 45 MB per vehicle per month. For this example, we assume that each car sends 15,000 messages per month sized at 3 KB per car (15,000*3 KB = 45 MB). The messages are sent through AWS IoT Core and stored in Amazon Timestream.

To understand the customer’s annual (12-month) costs to use AWS IoT FleetWise for a 1,000-vehicle fleet, we summarize:
AWS IoT FleetWise vehicle costs:
$0.60 per vehicle * 1,000 vehicles * 12 months = $7,200.00
AWS IoT FleetWise messaging costs:
15,000 messages per vehicle * 1,000 vehicles * 12 months * $1.75 per million message / 1 million messages = $315.00
AWS IoT Core charges (estimated):
$0.013 per vehicle per month * 1,000 vehicles * 12 months = $156.00
Amazon Timestream charges (estimated): $0.040 per vehicle per month * 1,000 vehicles * 12 months = $480.00
Total Annual costs:
$7,200.00 AWS IoT FleetWise vehicle costs + $315.00 AWS IoT FleetWise messaging costs + $156.00 AWS IoT Core costs + $480.00 Amazon Timestream costs
Total = $8,151.00 per year
