Overview
Pay only for what you use. There is no minimum fee.
Amazon Cloud Directory pricing is based on storage and access. Cloud Directory offers both eventually consistent and strongly consistent read options.
Free Tier
As part of AWS’s Free Tier, AWS customers can get started with Amazon Cloud Directory for free. New Cloud Directory customers get 1 GB of storage, 100,000 eventually consistent read API calls, and 10,000 combined strongly consistent read API calls and write API calls per month for the first 12 months. After 12 months, customers will be charged at normal rates per usage. Any excess usage during the 12-month free trial period is charged at normal rates.

Amazon Cloud Directory pricing is based on storage and access. Cloud Directory offers both eventually consistent and strongly consistent read options.
If you are a new Amazon Cloud Directory customer, using Cloud Directory in the US East (Ohio) region, and allocate 10 GBs of storage to your application, and perform 1,000,000 eventually consistent read API calls, 20,000 strongly consistent read API calls, and 100,000 write API calls per month, your charges are calculated as follows:
| First 12 months (qualifies for free tier) | |
| Free tier includes 1 GB of storage, 100,000 eventually consistent read API calls, and 10,000 combined strongly consistent read and write API calls per month. | |
Monthly storage charges |
$2.25 |
10 total GBs allocated – 1 free tier GB = 9 billable GBs 9 GB x $0.25 per GB = $2.25 per month |
|

$0.44 |
1,000,000 total API calls – 100,000 free tier API calls = 900,000 billable API calls 900,000 API calls x $0.0049 per 10,000 API calls = $0.44 per month |
|
Monthly strongly consistent read API call and write API call charges |
$0.58 |
20,000 read API calls + 100,000 write API calls = 120,000 total API calls 120,000 total API calls – 10,000 free tier API calls = 110,000 billable API calls 110,000 API calls x $0.0053 per 1,000 API calls = $0.58 per month |
