Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for RStudio Server Essentials, with no upfront commitment. Each dimension maps to a specific AWS EC2 instance type, so your rate depends on which instance you run. The many options span general-purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage-optimized, and GPU instance families across several hardware generations, plus sizes from nano and large up to metal. Larger instances with more CPU, memory, or accelerators carry higher hourly rates. Billing continues only while an instance runs. This software layers a support charge on open-source software, so total cost combines the software rate with your chosen instance.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each rate covers a pre-configured RStudio Server environment with thousands of R packages and a ready-to-use user account. The instance type you pick sets the CPU, memory, and accelerator resources. Your hourly charge reflects the software support fee layered on top of open-source RStudio, not the underlying AWS compute.
The software rate meters only running time. When you stop an instance, the hourly software charge stops accruing. Fully stopped instances may still incur AWS storage fees for attached volumes, but the RStudio Server Essentials software fee applies while the instance runs.
Two charges apply at the same time. You pay the hourly software fee for the instance type you select, plus the separate AWS charge for running that EC2 instance. They add together on your bill. Choosing a resource-heavy instance raises both charges.
