Explore Amazon Web Services services with Amazon Web Services China Region Free Tier
Note
This section only applies to new Amazon customers who created Amazon Web Services accounts after July 15, 2025. If you created your account before July 15, 2025, see Trying services using Amazon Web Services China Region Free Tier (before July 15, 2025).
You can use Amazon Web Services China Region Free Tier to explore Amazon services without cost commitments. When you sign up for your Amazon Web Services account, you can choose between Free account plan or Paid account plan. If you are new to Amazon, you receive USD $100 in credits after you create an account, regardless of your account plan. You can also earn up to an additional USD $100 in credits by completing activities. For more information about earning additional credits, see Earning additional credits. In addition, you have access to over 30 always free Amazon Web Services services that offer monthly free usage limits.
The Free account plan is ideal for customers experimenting with
Amazon Web Services services and building proof of concepts at no cost for up to six months. You will not
incur any charges during this period until you upgrade to a paid account plan. Your free
account plan ends after six months or when your credits are fully used - whichever occurs
first. Additionally, free account plans don't have access to certain Amazon Web Services services that
would rapidly consume the entire Amazon Web Services China Region Free Tier credit amount, or hardware purchases. For a list
of eligible services on the free account plan, see Amazon Web Services China Region Free Tier FAQs
The Paid account plan is ideal for building production applications that scale beyond the initial credit amount. When you usage exceeds your credit balance or when you use a service where credits don't apply, you pay standard pay-as-you-go pricing. For more information about each plan, see Choosing an Amazon Web Services China Region Free Tier plan.
