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, and additional usage. You pay upfront or in installments according to your contract terms with the vendor. This entitles you to a specified quantity of use for the contract duration. Usage-based pricing is in effect for overages or additional usage not covered in the contract. These charges are applied on top of the contract price. If you choose not to renew or replace your contract before the contract end date, access to your entitlements will expire.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
This contract combines two pricing dimensions. Product Access grants your subscription to the API and unlocks the data. Usage per 100 bytes charges for the data you actually pull, measured in 100-byte increments of API responses. So your cost has two parts: a base access component plus consumption that scales with how much you query. The more requests you make, the more usage units accrue. Both dimensions apply together under one contract term, giving you entry to the API and metered billing for ongoing use.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one usage unit of 100 bytes measure in an API request?
Each usage unit measures 100 bytes of data returned through the API. The API uses a GraphQL query structure, so your response size depends on the fields you request. Larger responses with more metadata fields accrue more 100-byte units than narrow queries returning fewer fields.
Which dimension drives most of my bill — Product Access or usage?
Product Access is a base component that unlocks the API for subscribers. Usage per 100 bytes scales with how much data you pull. Both apply together on one invoice. For high-query integrations, the usage component grows and can dominate. Low-volume use keeps usage charges small.
Does my cost change as I query more titles or larger datasets?
Yes. The usage dimension meters response size in 100-byte increments, so pulling more data raises usage units automatically. Broad queries across the metadata catalog of over 12 million titles return more bytes and accrue more units. Product Access stays constant regardless of query volume.
