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. Alternatively, you can pay upfront for a contract, which typically covers your anticipated usage for the contract duration. Any usage beyond contract will incur additional usage-based costs.
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 Tomcat running on CentOS Stream 9, with vendor support from ThinkCloud. Pricing is not tiered by features. Instead, each dimension maps to a specific AWS EC2 instance type, and you pick the one that fits your workload. The hourly rate scales with the size and class of the instance you choose. Smaller instances cost less per hour; larger instances with more CPU, memory, storage, or accelerators cost more. General-purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage-optimized, and accelerated families are all available. You run the software only while the instance is active.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hourly unit include beyond the compute instance?
Each hourly rate covers the Tomcat software running on CentOS Stream 9 plus vendor support from ThinkCloud. The rate attaches to the EC2 instance type you select. You pay this software charge on top of the underlying AWS infrastructure cost for that instance.
Am I charged when my instance is stopped or paused?
The hourly software charge applies only while the instance runs. When you stop the instance, the software metering stops too. Note that AWS may still bill for attached storage on a stopped instance, but the ThinkCloud software charge meters running hours only.
How do I move to a larger instance if my workload grows?
You select a different dimension that maps to the instance type you need. Each instance type carries its own hourly rate that reflects its CPU, memory, storage, or accelerators. There is no upfront commitment, so you switch instance sizes as your workload changes.
