AWS IoT Events pricing

AWS IoT Events operates on a usage basis with no mandatory costs or compulsory service use. 'Message evaluations' are billed in 1 KB chunks when the event detector reviews an incoming message. Each evaluation initiating up to 2 external actions is viewed as a new message evaluation. No extra charge is applied for triggering up to two actions per evaluation. If more than two actions are activated, they're billed as extra evaluations. Each active alarm, a rule-based alert, costs $0.10/month.
