Free Tier Value
This page does not show any concrete free quota, credit, or trial for Amazon SNS, only pay-as-you-go pricing for standard and FIFO topics. Because there is no explicit free tier to value, the monthly free-tier value can’t be estimated defensibly from the page. A credit card is required to create an account, and the offer is usage-based rather than a perpetual uncapped free plan.
