Service cost estimator

Estimate the monthly cost of running one service on AWS using FlexStack. The actual cost may vary based on your usage, the number and variety of services you run, regional pricing, and the architecture FlexStack selects for you.

CPU   –  $0.01012/hour

Based on the selected CPU architecture and whether spot pricing is enabled.

 
Memory   –  $0.0022225/hour

Based on the selected CPU architecture and whether spot pricing is enabled.

 
Ephemeral storage   –  $0.00222/hour

The amount of storage attached to your instances.

 
Network egress   –  $0.085/GB

The amount of data transferred out of your services to the internet.

Requests per second

FlexStack can automatically scale your architecture to a load balanced configuration when the cost of API Gateway requests exceeds the cost of an Application Load Balancer.

 
CPU architecture

ARM instances are more cost-effective than x86 instances.

1 Estimate is based upon our default region (us-west-2) as of May 2024 and will vary regionally. It does not take into account free tier usage or credits applied to your account.
2 Applies only when the total number of running instances * rate is below the cost of a NAT gateway in your region. We automatically find the best cost-performance for your use case.

Frequently asked questions

If you can't find what you're looking for, reach out to our team. For a detailed look at how we integrate with AWS, check out our FlexStack for AWS documentation.

What is the upfront cost to running FlexStack on my AWS account?

Creating any Development, Staging, or Production grade environment costs you a prorated $0.40/month per region upfront. Every environment also incurs an upfront cost of $0.50/month which is not prorated. These are AWS-incurred costs for a secrets manager secret and a Route 53 hosted zone. It is billed directly by AWS. All other resources are billed by AWS as per their pricing, but FlexStack will help you optimize costs to suit your use case.

How will I be billed for using FlexStack?

You pay for the resources you use on AWS and a monthly subscription fee for FlexStack. Your AWS usage is billed directly by AWS, and your FlexStack subscription is billed by us. You will be billed at the end of each month for the number of team members you have in your FlexStack organization at that time.

Can I cancel my subscription at any time?

Yes, you can cancel your subscription at any time. You will be billed for the current month, and your cloud's connection to FlexStack will be disabled. Your AWS services will continue to run and be billed by AWS unless you explicitly stop them. You just won't be able to use FlexStack's features anymore. See our "How can I leave the platform"? documentation.

Can I downgrade my plan?

Yes, you can downgrade your plan if you are using fewer resources than your current plan allows. You can upgrade your plan again at any time. Your plan will continue to be active until the end of the billing cycle, at which point you will be billed for the new plan.

How are team members counted for billing?

We use the number of team members in your FlexStack organization at the end of the month to calculate your subscription fee. For example, if you have 3 team members in your organization on the first day of the month and 2 team members join on the last day of the month, you will be billed for 2 team members.
