Amazon Quick Pricing and AWS Quick Suite Cost per User Across All Five Plans

Amazon Quick Suite costs $0, $20, $25, $40, $100 or $125 per user per month depending on plan and billing term, plus a flat $250 per account per month on the two organization plans. That is the whole price list. Everything else is metered overage on top.

The naming is worth clearing up first, because it is the reason this is hard to search for. AWS has dropped the word "Suite": the product page now sits at aws.amazon.com/quick/, the old aws.amazon.com/quicksuite/ address returns a 301 redirect to it, and the pricing page title reads "Amazon Quick Cost". Most buyers and most of the internet still say Quick Suite. Both names refer to the same product, and every price below was read directly from the AWS pricing page in September 2026, after AWS added the Max plan and rebuilt the agent hour allowances.

Look at the Plus and Professional rows next to each other. On annual billing it is the same $20 seat, and the only difference in what you hand AWS is $250 a month, flat, no matter how many people are on the account. That single line decides more small and mid-size Quick deals than any feature on the comparison chart, and it is the first thing worth modeling.

If you searched for Quick desktop pricing: there is no separate charge. The desktop app is included on every plan, Free included, and AWS states that pricing and usage counting are identical on desktop, web, mobile and the browser extensions.

Where Plus and Professional cross over at 50 users on monthly billing

Monthly billing changes the answer. Plus at $25 a month costs $5 a seat more than Professional, and Professional carries the $250 fee, so the two lines meet where $5 times the headcount equals $250. That is exactly 50 users.

On annual billing there is no crossover at all: Plus is always $250 a month cheaper, right up to its 300 user ceiling. Past 300 users Plus is simply not available and Professional is the only option.

AWS states the fee plainly: "Accounts are charged a flat $250 per account per month infrastructure fee. This fee covers the underlying AI infrastructure that powers the Amazon Quick experience." Flat means flat. It does not scale down for small teams and it does not scale up for large ones, which makes it either trivial or brutal depending entirely on headcount.

Here is what it does to the real cost of a Professional seat once you divide it across the people actually using it.

A ten-person team on Professional is not paying $20 a seat. It is paying $45 a seat, which is more than Microsoft charges for a 365 Copilot license and more than any reseller-quoted Gemini Enterprise Standard seat. At 125 seats the fee finally falls to 10% of the bill, and past 250 it rounds away to noise. Quick is priced for organizations, and the fee is the mechanism that makes that true.

Enterprise absorbs the fee faster because the seat is twice the price, but the shape is identical.

One practical consequence: consolidate accounts. Because the charge is per AWS account rather than per organization, three departments each running their own Quick account pay $750 a month in infrastructure fees for the same product one consolidated account would cover for $250.

An agent hour is the single unit AWS uses to meter every AI feature in Quick. AWS lists Chat, Research, Flows, Automate, artifact generation (Word, Excel and PowerPoint files) and custom agents and apps, and says usage is metered per second and only while Quick is actively working. Idle time between your prompts does not count.

This is a change from the launch rate card, which split the allowance into agentic hours and research hours and charged research overage at twice the rate. That split is gone. There is now one allowance and one overage rate.

Two details decide how this behaves on a real account. The included hours belong to each user, but overage is pooled across the account, so one heavy Enterprise user can draw down shared overage while a light user's unused hours sit idle. And the rate is not fixed per clock minute: Quick offers Fast, Balanced and Smart modes, and Smart burns hours fastest. A job that runs several tools in parallel can consume more than 15 minutes of agent time in 15 minutes of wall clock.

The allowance is worth more than the seat

Here is a calculation AWS does not publish but which falls straight out of its own rate card. Value the included hours at the $3 Enterprise overage rate:

Both tiers now give away more compute than the seat costs, which is a sharp reversal from launch, when the allowance was worth about 90% of the seat. The catch sits on Professional. Its 8 hours are a ceiling, not a starting point, so a Professional user who automates heavily hits a wall rather than a bill. The upgrade to Enterprise costs $20 more and buys 10 more hours, worth $30 at the overage rate, plus the right to keep going at $3 an hour. For any user who would otherwise run out, that upgrade pays for itself on hours alone.

A practical rule: a daily scheduled report counts too. AWS gives the example of a morning status report set to generate at 8 AM, which draws down hours every time it runs whether anyone reads it or not. Audit scheduled flows before you blame users for the meter.

Doubling the seat price from $20 to $40 buys exactly three additional capabilities, 10 more agent hours per user, the right to buy overage at all, and double the index storage. That is the complete list, taken cell by cell from the AWS feature comparison rather than from marketing copy.

The governance story is the surprise here. Professional already includes RBAC, SSO, admin controls, data sovereignty controls, centralized billing and 24/7 support. Security and compliance are not the upsell. The upsell is authoring: building multi-step automations in Quick Automate, creating rather than consuming Quick Sight content, and running an approval workflow over published assets.

Which means most organizations should buy both

Because the three Enterprise-only capabilities are all authoring functions, and because the only way past 8 agent hours is an Enterprise seat, the natural shape is a small number of Enterprise seats for the people who build automations and datasets, and Professional seats for everyone who only consumes them. AWS lists "unlimited user scaling" on both tiers and charges the $250 fee once per account, so a mixed account is not penalized.

At 50 users, all-Professional costs $1,250 a month and all-Enterprise costs $2,250. Ten Enterprise builders plus 40 Professional consumers costs $400 + $800 + $250, or $1,450, which is $800 a month less than putting everybody on Enterprise for capabilities most of them would never open.

Free, Plus and Max are the no-AWS-account plans. You sign up with an email address or a social login, and none of them carries the $250 infrastructure fee. AWS positions them for individuals and teams of up to 300, while Professional and Enterprise are "subscription plans for organizations".

Free is a one-person plan. It is capable for that one person, with custom agents, Flows, research and the desktop app, but it cannot be shared, which makes it an evaluation tool rather than a team plan.

Plus is where a small business should start. It now includes user management and centralized billing, which the launch version did not, so a team of 5 to 50 can run Quick with no AWS account and no platform fee. What it still withholds is governance: no RBAC, no SSO and no data sovereignty controls.

Who Max is for

Max costs five times Plus and gives five times the usage and five times the index storage, so per unit of capacity it is priced the same. It exists for the individual who keeps running out of Plus capacity. The comparison worth doing is against Enterprise, not Plus. A single Max seat is $100 with no account fee. An Enterprise seat is $40 with 18 hours and $3 overage, but it drags the $250 account fee along with it. For one or two heavy users with no need for governance or dashboards, Max is the simpler bill. At ten users the fee spreads to $25 a head, so an Enterprise seat costs $65 before overage and stays cheaper than a $100 Max seat until each user burns about 12 overage hours, roughly 30 agent hours a month in total. Past that line Max wins: ten Enterprise seats at 20 overage hours each come to $1,250 a month against $1,000 for ten Max seats on annual billing. AWS publishes Max capacity as a multiple of Plus rather than in hours, which is the one number to get in writing before buying it at scale.

Amazon Quick is the only major AI workspace in this group that charges a flat platform fee per account on top of seats. That is the structural difference buyers should weigh, more than the seat price itself, because it is the thing that changes the answer at different company sizes.

Read across the rows at two different company sizes and the ranking flips. At 10 seats, Quick Professional's effective $45 per user is more expensive than Microsoft 365 Copilot's flat $30. At 250 seats, Quick Professional's effective $21 undercuts it by nine dollars a head, which on 250 people is $27,000 a year. Nothing about the products changed between those two rows; only the denominator did.

Three caveats on that table, stated plainly. Google now publishes the $21 Business and $30 Standard and Plus entry prices, but does not break out Plus, so treat the $50 Plus figure as an indication and get a quote. Glean prices by negotiation, and the FlexCredit consumption sits on top of seats. And the platforms are not feature-identical: Quick is the only one of the group that bundles a full business intelligence product, which is why the Quick Sight add-on rates below matter to the comparison.

If you are weighing these against each other rather than against doing nothing, our Glean pricing breakdown, Copilot Studio pricing and Agentforce pricing pages carry the same cell-by-cell treatment for each vendor, and the AWS and Microsoft equivalents of Google Agentspace maps how the three clouds line up feature by feature.

Business intelligence in Quick is partly bundled and partly sold separately. Viewing and interacting with Quick Sight dashboards, reports and stories is included on both organization plans. Three capabilities are priced on top.

That Pixel-Perfect minimum deserves attention. At $1 per report unit with a floor of 500 units a month, the smallest possible commitment is $500 per month. To put that in proportion, $500 a month is more than the seat bill for 20 Professional users or 12 Enterprise users. A finance team that wants formatted recurring reports is signing up for an add-on that can cost more than the entire subscription it attaches to.

AWS also notes a "BI-only pricing option" for customers using Quick exclusively for business intelligence, which is worth asking about if dashboards rather than agents are the actual reason you are buying.

How index storage is measured, and why the number is bigger than you expect

AWS measures index storage as "GB of raw storage, the original file size of documents at their source location (such as SharePoint, S3, or Confluence) before any processing." That is the pre-processing size of everything you connect, not the size of the resulting index, so a connected SharePoint site counts at its full weight.

The allowances pool across the organization: 25 GB per user on Professional, 50 GB on Enterprise. A hundred Professional users therefore share 2,500 GB. Overages are $5 per GB per month, which compounds quickly. Exceeding that 2,500 GB pool by ten percent costs $1,250 a month, or 62.5% of the $2,000 seat bill it sits on top of. Audit what you connect before you connect it.
