Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Standard and FIFO topics?
Standard Topics offer at-least-once delivery with nearly unlimited throughput. Messages may be delivered out of order or duplicated. FIFO Topics provide exactly-once processing with strict message ordering. FIFO topics are limited to 300 transactions per second (3,000 with batching) and have separate pricing for publish operations ($0.30/million) and subscription messages ($0.01/million).
How are notification deliveries priced?
SNS charges based on endpoint type. HTTP/HTTPS is $0.60/million. Email/Email-JSON is $2.00 per 100K ($20/million). Mobile Push is $0.50/million. Firehose is $0.19/million for configured delivery volume. SQS and Lambda deliveries have no SNS charge. You only pay the target service. Each 64KB chunk counts as one delivery.
How are API requests metered?
For Standard Topics, each 64KB chunk of published data is billed as 1 request. A 256KB message counts as 4 requests. For FIFO Topics, messages from 1KB to 256KB are billed as one message, plus $0.017/GB of payload data.
How does message filtering pricing work?
Attribute-based filtering is completely free. Payload-based filtering costs $0.09 per GB of scanned payload data. Both filtered and delivered messages count toward the scanned amount. Each message is billed for a minimum of 1KB.
What are message archiving costs?
Message archiving and replay charges $0.10 per GB for archive processing and $0.023 per GB-month for in-place storage. Any archived data is billed for a minimum of 1 day. Message replay is billed at standard FIFO API request and payload rates.
What is message data protection?
Message data protection helps you scan messages for sensitive data and block or de-identify it. Scanning costs $0.08 per GB of payload data, with a minimum of 1KB per message. If you enable audit reporting, it costs $0.20 per GB of audit report data generated.
