Frequently Asked Questions
How does Amazon Inspector pricing work?
Amazon Inspector charges separately for each workload type it scans, including EC2 instance-hours, ECR image scans, CI/CD image assessments, and Lambda function-hours. In `us-east-1`, EC2 standard scanning starts around $0.00174 per instance-hour and CI/CD image assessments are about $0.03 per image.
How much does Amazon Inspector agentless EC2 scanning cost?
Agentless EC2 scanning is priced separately from standard scanning. In `us-east-1`, it starts around $0.00243 per instance-hour, which is higher than standard EC2 scanning because AWS performs deeper snapshot-based analysis without relying on the SSM agent.
Why can ECR rescans become expensive?
Continuous scanning bills each image rescan triggered by updated vulnerability intelligence. In `us-east-1`, initial scans are about $0.09 per image and rescans are about $0.01 per image. If you retain many images, rescans can compound into a large share of your Inspector bill. Pair this with our Amazon ECR pricing calculator to model the storage side too.
How much does Inspector Lambda scanning cost?
Lambda standard scanning starts around $0.000417 per function-hour in `us-east-1`, while Lambda code scanning starts around $0.00084 per function-hour where AWS publishes that rate. For the broader runtime bill, compare these results with our AWS Lambda pricing calculator.
