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 for the software running on your chosen EC2 instance. There is one pricing model that scales with the instance type you select. Options span many EC2 families, including general-purpose (m, t), compute-optimized (c), memory-optimized (r, x, z, u), storage-optimized (d, i), and accelerated (g, inf, trn, f, vt) instances. Sizes range from nano up to metal builds. Larger instances with more CPU, memory, or specialized hardware carry higher hourly rates. You choose the size that fits your workload and pay only for the hours you run.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What software am I actually paying the hourly rate for on each instance?
You pay for a preconfigured Ubuntu 26.04 LTS desktop image with an XFCE graphical environment and remote desktop access over port 3389. It includes a web browser and a code editor. The hourly software charge covers this ready-to-run image, separate from the underlying AWS compute cost.
Am I charged the hourly software rate when my instance is stopped?
The software charge meters running instance-hours. A stopped instance does not accrue the hourly software fee. You may still pay AWS for attached storage while the instance is stopped, but the listing's software rate applies only while the instance runs.
Does the hourly rate change if I switch to a different instance type?
Yes. Each instance type carries its own hourly software rate. When you launch on a different family or size, that instance's rate applies for the hours it runs. The change takes effect based on which instance you choose, not an automatic upgrade.
