Safeguard Your AWS Cloud with Expert Security Features

Flexible subscription tiers

Choose between Lite ($3/user/month) and Pro ($20/user/month) plans. Start small with essential features or unlock advanced automation and integrations when the business is ready to scale. Businesses only pay for what they need, avoiding unnecessary spend.

Permissions-aware security

Amazon Q ensures users only see information they’re authorized to access. Built-in IAM integration and fine-grained controls protect sensitive data while still enabling AI-driven insights. Teams stay productive without compliance risks.

Unified data access

Connect Amazon Q to 50+ data sources like Slack, Salesforce, Amazon S3, and Confluence. Instead of switching between apps, employees get accurate answers in one place. This reduces wasted time and speeds up decision-making.

Generative automation with Pro

Pro plan users can generate multi-page responses, build Q Apps for workflows, and integrate directly with QuickSight dashboards and plugins. Routine tasks turn into one-step commands, freeing up teams for higher-value work.

Transparent, usage-based pricing

Index units, API calls, and subscriptions are priced clearly and billed predictably. Businesses can forecast costs, scale without surprises, and tie usage directly to ROI.

Free trials & safe evaluation

Amazon Q Business offers a 60-day free trial (up to 50 users, 1,500 index hours). Amazon Q Developer also comes with a free tier. Organizations can test the value before committing, minimizing risk while proving impact internally.

Unlock hidden productivity

Knowledge gaps cost businesses more than they realize. By breaking down silos across 50+ data sources, Amazon Q ensures no answer is out of reach. That means fewer delays, fewer mistakes, and faster customer impact.

A solution built for every size

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about the product and billing.
What makes Amazon Q’s pricing different from other AI tools?

 Amazon Q uses transparent, per-user pricing with no hidden fees. Unlike many AI platforms, it offers predictable scaling for SMBs without surprise overages.

Is the 60-day free trial really unlimited?

 Yes. The free trial provides full access to Amazon Q Business features for 60 days, supporting up to 100 users so SMBs can test real workflows before committing.

Does Amazon Q require an AWS account?

 Yes. Amazon Q is an AWS-native service, so billing is consolidated under an AWS account, making it easy for SMBs to track cloud and AI costs together.

Are there additional charges beyond the subscription fee?

Most SMBs only pay the flat per-user fee. However, if Amazon Q integrates with other AWS services such as Amazon S3 or Redshift, those services carry their standard AWS charges.

Can Amazon Q subscriptions be scaled down or paused?

Yes. Since billing is monthly, SMBs can reduce the number of users or pause usage as needed, ensuring they only pay for active seats.

How does Amazon Q pricing compare to building AI in-house?

In-house AI often requires major upfront investments in infrastructure, models, and specialized talent. Amazon Q delivers enterprise-grade AI at a fraction of the cost, without the complexity of building and maintaining custom solutions.
