Note

The default values provided in Cost Optimizer for Amazon WorkSpaces for each of the WorkSpaces bundle type should be considered a guidance value only. Review Amazon WorkSpaces pricing for the AWS Region where you deployed the solution to determine the value for your location. Pricing differences between AWS Regions can mean a different billing break-even point between AutoStop and AlwaysOn instances.

Prices are subject to change. For full details, see the pricing webpage for each AWS service you will be using in this solution.
