See your AWS spending clearly, act on it faster.
AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
Pricing is based on the duration and terms of your contract with the vendor. This entitles you to a specified quantity of use for the contract duration. If you choose not to renew or replace your contract before it ends, access to these entitlements will expire.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
This listing has one pricing dimension. You buy a contract license for a single ByChat FinOps Essentials deployment set up through CloudFormation. Pricing is measured in units, with one unit covering one deployment. There are no tiers or add-on options to compare. To cover more deployments, you add units under the same contract structure. The FinOps focus supports cloud cost visibility and governance across your AWS environment.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What counts as one deployment unit for billing?
One unit covers a single ByChat FinOps Essentials deployment set up through CloudFormation. Each separate CloudFormation deployment counts as one unit. To run the product in more environments or accounts, you add units under the same contract.
What does this product help you manage across your AWS environment?
It supports FinOps work: cloud cost visibility, tagging, budgets, and governance. The focus is aligning engineering and finance around predictable AWS spend. It helps surface waste, track commitments, and detect unexpected cost spikes.
If I need the tool in more accounts, does my cost change?
Yes. Each deployment requires its own unit. Adding accounts or environments means adding units under the same contract structure. There are no tiers, so cost scales directly with the number of deployments you run.

This delivery option deploys ByChat FinOps Essentials entirely within your own AWS account using a modular CloudFormation nested stack architecture.
Infrastructure Provisioned:
VPC with public and private subnets, internet gateway, and route tables
Application Load Balancer (ALB)
EC2 instance running the ByChat application
RDS Aurora Serverless v2 (PostgreSQL-compatible) for persistent data storage
AWS Bedrock Knowledge Bases with S3 data source for RAG-powered document ingestion
Lambda functions for automated knowledge base synchronization via EventBridge
Secrets Manager for secure storage of database credentials and application secrets
KMS encryption for data at rest across RDS, S3, and Secrets Manager
SSM Parameter Store for cross-stack runtime configuration
S3 bucket for knowledge base document storage and ingestion pipeline
Security & Compliance: All infrastructure is deployed with security best practices by default. Database credentials are managed exclusively through AWS Secrets Manager and never exposed in plaintext. Data at rest is encrypted via AWS KMS. The EC2 instance and RDS cluster are isolated within private subnets, accessible only through the ALB. IAM roles follow least-privilege principles, scoped to the specific resources provisioned by this stack.
Not included in this delivery option:
HTTPS/TLS termination on the ALB
Custom domain and DNS configuration
Post-deployment changes to ALB security group inbound rules (if access requirements change)
Deployment Requirements:
AWS account with sufficient service quotas for EC2, RDS Aurora Serverless v2, and Bedrock
AWS Bedrock model access enabled in the target region (Claude or Titan embeddings)
(Optional) Route 53 hosted zone or external DNS if you plan to use a custom domain
Estimated deployment time: 20 minutes
This delivery option is recommended for enterprise customers who require full data
sovereignty, private cloud isolation, regulatory compliance, or deep integration with
existing AWS infrastructure.
CloudFormation Template (CFT)
AWS CloudFormation templates are JSON or YAML-formatted text files that simplify provisioning and management on AWS. The templates describe the service or application architecture you want to deploy, and AWS CloudFormation uses those templates to provision and configure the required services (such as Amazon EC2 instances or Amazon RDS DB instances). The deployed application and associated resources are called a "stack."

Customer responsibilities
Network and access: At deployment, you must provide AlbIngressCidr to control who can reach the ALB on HTTP/80 (for example 0.0.0.0/0 for public access, or a corporate VPN/office CIDR). Enter the value without quotes. This stack deploys HTTP on port 80 only. To change access after deployment, update the ALB security group inbound rules (TCP/80) in the EC2 console.
DNS and HTTPS: This stack outputs AlbDnsName and AlbHostedZoneId for Route 53 alias or external CNAME records. Custom domain, ACM certificate, ALB HTTPS listener (port 443), and security group rule for 443 are not provisioned by this template and must be configured in your AWS account if required.
If you prefer assisted setup for DNS, HTTPS/TLS, or custom domain configuration, contact contact@bychat.ai for paid implementation support.
Prerequisites
AWS account with IAM permissions to deploy CloudFormation stacks
Enable AWS Bedrock model access in your target region:
Go to AWS Console / Bedrock / Model Access
Enable Claude (Anthropic) and Amazon Titan Embeddings
Ensure service quotas are sufficient for EC2, RDS Aurora Serverless v2, and Lambda
Plan your ALB access policy: you will be required to enter AlbIngressCidr during deployment (no default value).
Deployment Steps
Subscribe to ByChat on AWS Marketplace and click "Launch CloudFormation Stack"
On the CloudFormation console, review the template and click "Next"
Fill in the required stack parameters:
Stack name (e.g. bychat-prod)
Environment (e.g. prod, staging)
EC2 instance type (recommended: t3.medium or higher)
DB capacity settings (Aurora Serverless v2 min/max ACU)
ALB ingress CIDR (Required): Enter the IPv4 CIDR allowed to access the ALB on HTTP/80 (e.g. 0.0.0.0/0). You are responsible for selecting a value appropriate for your security policy. Enter the value without quotes.
Acknowledge IAM resource creation and click "Create Stack"
Wait ~20 minutes for all nested stacks to reach CREATE_COMPLETE status
Post-Deployment Configuration
Retrieve AlbDnsName from the root CloudFormation stack Outputs and open the application at: http://<AlbDnsName>/
Register using /signup.
Upload your business documents via the application UI
Configure branding, system prompt, and response formats
Copy the embed snippet and deploy ByChat to your website or application (optional)
If ALB ingress was left as 0.0.0.0/0 for initial setup, update it to a trusted VPN/office IP CIDR range for production access control
(Optional) Configure custom domain and HTTPS/TLS according to your organization standards
