Set Expiration Policies
Configure user pool expiration policies to automatically delete inactive users, avoiding unnecessary costs for unneeded users.
Regular AWS Monitoring
Monitor Cognito usage and costs regularly with AWS Cost Explorer service to find optimization opportunities such as unused user pools that can be deleted.

Amazon Cognito employs a pay-as-you-go model with no initial costs. It charges for identity management and data sync based on monthly active users (MAUs), defined by identity operations within a month. A free tier allows 50,000 MAUs for direct sign-ins, 50 for SAML 2.0-federated ones. Extra costs apply for advanced security features. Pricing differs per user sign-ins and region with tiers for MAUs above the free mark.
