Using AWS Free Tier with AWS Marketplace
To help new AWS customers get started in the cloud, AWS introduced a free usage tier. The free tier can be used for anything you want to run in the cloud: launch new applications, test existing applications in the cloud, or simply gain hands-on experience with AWS. When the free usage period expires (or if the application use exceeds the free usage tier limits), you simply pay the standard, pay-as-you-go service rates. For more information, see AWS Free Tier.
AWS Free Tier customers are eligible to use free AWS Marketplace software for up to 750 hours of EC2 usage each month for one year. To get started, see AWS Marketplace.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are paid products on AWS Marketplace also free tier eligible?

How do I determine which products are free tier eligible?
Any AWS Marketplace AMI that can run on a micro instance is free tier eligible. Look for the “Free-tier eligible” badge next to the product.
