Free Tier Details

Virtual private servers billed by the hour, up to a fixed monthly price per bundle. No free trial for new customers: AWS replaced Lightsail's free trials (up to 90 days on select bundles) with the AWS Free Tier, whose credits ($100 at sign-up and up to $100 more) pay for Lightsail like any other service. Linux bundles with a public IPv4 address start at $5/mo for 2 vCPUs, 0.5 GB RAM, 20 GB SSD and 1 TB transfer, then $7/mo (1 GB RAM, 40 GB SSD, 2 TB) and $12/mo (2 GB RAM, 60 GB SSD, 3 TB). IPv6-only Linux bundles start at $3.50/mo (512 MB RAM, 20 GB SSD, 1 TB), and Windows bundles at $9.50/mo. Inbound and outbound transfer both count toward a bundle's allowance; outbound transfer beyond it costs from $0.09/GB, and bundles in Mumbai, Sydney, Jakarta, Malaysia, Hong Kong and São Paulo get half the allowance.

We read that on 2026-10-06 from https://aws.amazon.com/lightsail/pricing/, and our check recorded: the page names Amazon Lightsail as "amazon lightsail" and states "$5" and "$7" and "$12" and "$9.50". A source check reads the cited page for the service's name and a price; the limits above are from our own record.
