AWS IoT FleetWise allows you to easily collect, transform, and transfer vehicle data to the cloud in near-real time. You pay for the vehicles you create in AWS IoT FleetWise at the end of each month. You’re also charged for the messages you collect from vehicles.
You pay for each vehicle you create in AWS IoT FleetWise (i.e., per VIN #) each month. If you remove a vehicle from AWS IoT FleetWise, you are no longer charged for that vehicle each month. Vehicles send data back to the cloud through messages, which you are billed for. Messages are metered in 5 KB increments, so a 7 KB message would be billed as two messages. You may incur additional charges as you use other AWS services with AWS IoT FleetWise. Messages sent through AWS IoT Core, for example, will incur costs directly to AWS IoT Core. Vehicle data storage costs are also billed outside of AWS IoT FleetWise, such as Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) or Amazon Timestream.
During preview, AWS IoT FleetWise is free. After preview, you will be charged for the vehicles you have created and the messages you send after preview. All other charges, such as AWS IoT Core and Amazon Timestream, are charged as normal during preview.
