(See IoT Core pricing page.)
• AWS IoT Device Management free tier: 50 remote actions per month (12 months free tier applies from account creation).
• AWS IoT Core for Amazon Sidewalk: free for up to 100,000 messages during first 6 months after account creation (region exclusions apply).

Example costs (selected, region-dependent; official page gives region-specific rates and examples):

• AWS IoT Core — Connectivity (example region rate): $0.08 per 1,000,000 minutes of connection (used in examples on the IoT Core pricing page).

• AWS IoT Core — Messaging (MQTT/HTTP): $1.00 per 1,000,000 messages for the first 1 billion messages (example shown for Europe (Ireland) region). Messages metered in 5 KB increments.

• AWS IoT Core — Device Shadow & Registry: $1.25 per 1,000,000 operations (example shown for Canada (Central) region). Device Shadow/registry operations metered per 1 KB increments.

• AWS IoT Core — Rules Engine: $0.15 per 1,000,000 rules triggered and $0.15 per 1,000,000 actions applied (example shown for Canada (Central) region). Rules are metered per rule triggered and per action executed (minimum one action).

• AWS IoT Core — LoRaWAN messaging (example US East (N. Virginia) rate): $2.30 per 1,000,000 messages (first 1B messages shown in example).

• AWS IoT Core for Amazon Sidewalk (US East example): $6.00 per 1,000,000 messages; BLE location lookups: first 835 lookups/month free, additional lookups priced as Device Location tiered pricing (page describes $1.00 per 1K locations starting tier for BLE lookups).

• AWS IoT Device Management — Bulk registration: $0.10 per 1,000 things registered (example used to compute $1.00 for 10,000 devices).

• AWS IoT Device Management — Device Jobs / remote actions: $0.003 per remote action (first tier); volume tier shown: first 250,000 remote actions at $0.003 per action, over 250,000 at $0.0015 per action (example on the Device Management pricing page).

• AWS IoT Device Management — Fleet Indexing queries: $0.05 per 10,000 queries (example calculation shown).

• AWS IoT Device Management — Secure Tunneling: $1.00 per tunnel created (example shown).

• AWS IoT Device Management — Managed integrations: example subscription charges shown in the documentation (example values used on the page: hub-connected device subscription $0.01/device-month, cloud-to-cloud device $0.02/device-month, hub $0.15/month in the published example). (Metering and tiers apply; see official page for region/tier details.)

Discounts / tiering notes (from official pages):

• Several components use tiered/volume pricing (examples: Device Jobs remote-action tiers; messaging has tier/volume behavior across message volumes and different transports such as LoRaWAN/Sidewalk).
• Many prices are region-specific — the official AWS IoT pricing pages give per-region examples and instruct customers to consult region pricing details and the AWS Pricing Calculator for an estimate.
