Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the software running on an EC2 virtual machine. Pricing follows a consumption model with no upfront costs, monthly minimums, or long-term contracts. Each dimension maps to a specific EC2 instance type, so your hourly rate depends on the instance you choose. Options span a wide range of instance families and sizes, from small general-purpose types to large memory-optimized, compute-optimized, storage-optimized, and GPU or accelerator instances. Larger or more specialized instances carry higher hourly rates. Charges appear as line items on your AWS invoice. You control cost by matching instance size to your workload.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each unit is one hour that your chosen EC2 instance runs with this software image. The rate is tied to the specific instance type you launch, such as m5.large or r5.24xlarge. You pay for each hour the instance runs, per running virtual machine.
The software fee meters running time only. A stopped or powered-off instance does not accrue software charges. Underlying AWS storage fees for the attached volume may still apply while the instance is stopped, but those are separate AWS charges, not the software charge.
No. Billing is strictly consumption-based, charged per hour of compute. There are no upfront costs, monthly minimums, or long-term contracts. Charges appear as native line items on your monthly AWS invoice. You can cancel the subscription through the AWS Marketplace Console at any time.
