Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour based on the EC2 instance size you choose to run this software. The 21 options map to AWS instance types across general-purpose, compute-optimized, and memory-optimized families, in sizes from nano up to 2xlarge. Pricing scales with the compute, memory, and resources each instance provides. You pick the instance that fits your workload and pay only for the hours you run it. The software itself stays the same across all options; the hourly rate reflects the underlying instance capacity, not different feature sets.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
One billed hour covers the software running on one EC2 instance of the size you selected. The rate reflects that instance's compute and memory capacity. You are charged for each hour the instance runs, counted per instance. Running two instances doubles the hourly software charge.
The software rate meters running hours only. A fully stopped instance does not accrue the software hourly charge. Note that underlying AWS storage or other AWS resources tied to a stopped instance may still bill separately through AWS, independent of this software's hourly rate.
The vendor provides technical support and performs scheduled maintenance to update the servers and software used for the service. Emergency maintenance may occur without advance notice, which can briefly suspend access. For specifics on response times or support scope, contact the vendor directly.
