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 actual usage, with charges varying according to how much you consume. Subscriptions have no end date and may be canceled any time.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
If you are an AWS Free Tier customer with a free plan, you are eligible to subscribe to this offer. You can use free credits to cover the cost of eligible AWS infrastructure. See AWS Free Tier for more details. If you created an AWS account before July 15th, 2025, and qualify for the Legacy AWS Free Tier, Amazon EC2 charges for Micro instances are free for up to 750 hours per month. See Legacy AWS Free Tier for more details.
You pay by the hour based on the EC2 instance type you run. Each dimension maps to a specific instance size, so your cost scales with the compute, memory, and CPU capacity you select. The t2 and t3 families cover general-purpose sizes from nano through 2xlarge. The m3, m4, and m5 families offer balanced compute and memory. The c3, c4, and c5 families target compute-heavy work, while the r3, r4, and r5 families suit memory-intensive workloads. You choose the size that fits your needs and pay only for hours used.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hour of billing cover for these instance dimensions?
Each dimension bills per hour that the matching EC2 instance runs. One unit equals one hour of a single running instance of that size. Running two instances doubles the hourly charge. The rate reflects the software licence and support, layered on top of your AWS compute charges.
Am I charged when my instance is stopped or powered off?
The hourly software charge applies only while the instance runs. A stopped or powered-off instance stops accruing software charges. You may still pay AWS for attached storage on a stopped instance, but the listing's per-hour fee meters running time only.
What support comes with this hourly usage pricing?
The listing includes maintenance support from the vendor. Their engineers help with version upgrades, security updates, and vulnerability handling. Support is available around the clock. This support is bundled into the hourly rate you pay for each instance type you run.
