Amazon Dynamodb Plans Pricing

Machine-readable pricing for Amazon DynamoDB, read from the AWS Price List Bulk API rather than a marketing page. DynamoDB bills capacity (on-demand request units or provisioned capacity-unit hours), storage, and data movement (backup, restore, export, import, Streams reads) as independent meters; there are no subscription tiers, no seats, and no per-call API plan.

Amazon Dynamodb Plans Pricing is the machine-readable pricing-plan profile for Amazon DynamoDB on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Plans specification.

It defines 5 plans, covering usage and freemium tiers, with named plans including On-demand capacity mode (PayPerRequest), On-demand, Standard-Infrequent Access table class, Provisioned capacity mode, Always-free allowance (provisioned mode and Streams), Storage, backup, restore, export, import and Streams.

Tagged areas include Database, NoSQL, Serverless, and Usage-Based Pricing.

Plans

On-demand capacity mode (PayPerRequest) usage

Per-request billing with no capacity to provision. The default for new tables. Charged in read request units (RRU) and write request units (WRU); one strongly consistent read of an item up to 4 KB is 1 RRU, one write of an item up to 1 KB is 1 WRU.

Read request units (read_request_units · month) 0.125 USD
Write request units (write_request_units · month) 0.625 USD
Replicated write request units (global tables) (replicated_write_request_units · month) 0.625 USD
Vector data searched (gb_searched) 0.002 USD
Vector write requests (gb_written) 0.52 USD
On-demand, Standard-Infrequent Access table class usage

Same on-demand model against the Standard-IA table class: cheaper storage, more expensive requests. Chosen per table, not per account.

IA read request units (read_request_units) 0.155 USD
IA write request units (write_request_units) 0.78 USD
IA replicated write request units (replicated_write_request_units) 0.78 USD
Provisioned capacity mode usage

Capacity reserved by the hour in read capacity units (RCU) and write capacity units (WCU), with optional auto scaling. Requests beyond the provisioned rate are throttled with ProvisionedThroughputExceededException rather than billed as overage.

Read capacity unit-hours (rcu_hours · hour) 0.00013 USD
Write capacity unit-hours (wcu_hours · hour) 0.00065 USD
Replicated write capacity unit-hours (global tables) (replicated_wcu_hours · hour) 0.00065 USD
IA read capacity unit-hours (rcu_hours · hour) 0.00016 USD
IA write capacity unit-hours (wcu_hours · hour) 0.00081 USD
Always-free allowance (provisioned mode and Streams) freemium

A standing monthly allowance modelled in the price list itself as $0.00 SKUs, not a signup trial. It applies to provisioned capacity, storage and Streams reads; on-demand request units carry no free allowance in this price list.

Free provisioned read capacity (rcu · month) 0.00 USD
Free provisioned write capacity (wcu · month) 0.00 USD
Free storage (gb_month · month) 0.00 USD
Free DynamoDB Streams read request units (stream_read_request_units · month) 0.00 USD
Storage, backup, restore, export, import and Streams usage

Meters that bill independently of capacity mode. These are where an agent driving the control plane can spend money without issuing a single item write.

Table storage (Standard class) beyond the free 25 GB-month (gb_month) 0.25 USD
Table storage (Standard-IA class) (gb_month) 0.10 USD
On-demand backup storage (gb_month) 0.10 USD
Point-in-time recovery (continuous backup) storage (gb_month) 0.20 USD
Restore (gb_restored) 0.15 USD
Export to Amazon S3 (gb_exported) 0.10 USD
Incremental export to Amazon S3 (gb_exported) 0.10 USD
Import from Amazon S3 (gb_imported) 0.15 USD
DynamoDB Streams read request units beyond the free allowance (stream_read_request_units) 0.20 USD
Change data capture to Kinesis Data Streams (change_data_capture_units) 0.10 USD
