Pricing
Pricing is based on actual usage, with charges varying according to how much you consume. Subscriptions have no end date and may be canceled any time. Alternatively, you can pay upfront for a contract, which typically covers your anticipated usage for the contract duration. Any usage beyond contract will incur additional usage-based costs.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
Dimension | Cost/hour |
|---|---|
m6i.xlarge Recommended | $1.93 |
m5.4xlarge | $3.58 |
m5.large | $1.40 |
m5.xlarge | $1.93 |
m6i.4xlarge | $3.58 |

m5.2xlarge | $2.67 |
t3.medium | $0.91 |
m6i.2xlarge | $2.67 |
Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the compute instance that runs Ignition Cloud Edition. Pricing scales with the AWS EC2 instance you select, so the dimensions are instance sizes, not feature tiers. Options span two instance families, m5 and m6i, in sizes from t3.medium up to 4xlarge. Larger instances offer more CPU and memory and carry a higher hourly rate. You choose the size that matches your workload and can scale up or down over time. All sizes include the same bundled modules and support.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You pay for hourly usage of the running instance. When the instance is stopped, the hourly software charge stops accruing. Underlying AWS storage or other resources may still incur separate AWS fees, but the Cloud Edition charge meters running time only.
Each rate covers Ignition Cloud Edition with its bundled modules, including visualization, reporting, historian, and MQTT and OPC UA connectivity. It also includes support you activate through your cloud account. It does not include device drivers or Edge licenses, which you purchase separately.
You can run redundancy by starting two separate EC2 instances, likely using two different images. Each running instance meters its own hourly charge. So a redundant setup roughly doubles the hourly cost, since you pay per active instance.

Streamlined Integration with Scalability and Versatile Tool Support
Reviewed on Jul 31, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I am using Ignition to integrate over 200 remote edge units, and I love its scalability because I can apply a standard design to multiple iterations with minimal need for redesign. I really like its ability to work with CS tools and how it smoothly combines with Docker and VS Code, allowing me to manage my Docker containers from a unified directory and make global changes using the open API. The initial setup was very easy for my team, thanks to the core class that helped us get up to speed.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ever since version 8.3 launched, there have been weird, one-off performance issues that don’t occur often enough to really remember or document, but there are still some bugs in 8.3 that have caused me to do some rework.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ignition allows me to apply a standard design across multiple iterations with minimal redesign. It integrates well with Docker and VS Code, enabling me to make global changes and run commands from a unified directory.

Ignition: Unlimited Licensing, Web-Based Perspective, and Powerful Built-In Integrations
Reviewed on Jul 25, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
The licensing model is the single biggest thing. Unlimited tags, unlimited clients, unlimited connections for one price means I never had to design around a tag count or worry that adding a sensor would cost more. Coming from a student budget that mattered, but it also means the architecture decisions I made were driven by what the process needed rather than what the license allowed.
Perspective being genuinely web-based is the other standout. No client installs, no per-seat licensing, and the same project renders on a laptop and a phone without me building it twice.
The Modbus TCP driver being native meant I had an ESP32 talking to a real SCADA platform in an afternoon. Database integration is built into the platform rather than bolted on, so when I built an ISA-18.2 alarm journal on PostgreSQL, I could bind custom components directly to SQL queries and build exactly the analytics dashboard I wanted instead of accepting stock components.
Inductive University deserves a mention too. Over 600 free videos with a real credential at the end is a genuinely serious training resource, and it's free to anyone with an account.

What do you dislike about the product?
The failure modes that cost me the most time were the silent ones. A tag carrying a scaled decimal value set to Integer instead of Float truncates without any warning or error, so 0.3 just becomes 0 and everything downstream looks fine until you notice the numbers are wrong. Same category of problem with bidirectional writes: the tag being writable isn't enough, the binding needs Bidirectional explicitly ticked in the Options row, and if you miss it the write just doesn't happen with nothing to indicate why.
Named Queries have a similar sharp edge. A trailing semicolon breaks them because Ignition appends its own LIMIT clause, and the resulting error doesn't point anywhere near the actual cause. Scalar queries also return under the key "result" rather than the alias you named in the SQL, which isn't obvious.
Debugging bindings is harder than it should be. There's no straightforward way to see every binding across a view at once, so a stray binding silently overwriting a property is painful to track down.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm a mechatronics engineering student, so the problem I'm solving is skills-gap rather than commercial: getting hands-on experience with real industrial SCADA before entering a job market where employers expect it and universities rarely teach it.
Concretely, I built a benchtop tank-level control system where an ESP32 reads an ultrasonic level sensor, drives two pumps under closed-loop control, and serves the data over Modbus TCP. Ignition is the supervisory layer on top of that: live process visualisation built to ISA-101 high-performance HMI conventions, historian trending, operator setpoint writes, and an ISA-18.2 alarm management layer with a PostgreSQL alarm journal, rationalised priorities, suppression logic, and analytics that rank bad actors and measure time-in-alarm.
The benefit is that I've learned the standards by implementing them rather than reading about them. Working out why a sensor fault should suppress the level alarms it causes, or why control logic belongs in the controller while the supervisory layer stays out of the safety path, teaches you far more than a lecture does.
The other real benefit has been visibility. Building publicly on a platform with an active community led to Inductive Automation featuring the project, and to conversations with practising control engineers and integrators that I wouldn't otherwise have had access to as a first-year student.
