AWS OpenSearch bills across 3 metered dimensions. The table below lists the current per-unit rates, verified June 14, 2026. What you actually pay depends on your usage volume, which is the number a scan computes for your specific app.
| Metered dimension | Price |
|---|---|
| m6g.large.search instance hour | $0.142 / instance-hour |
| EBS gp3 storage | $0.122 / GB-month |
| Data transfer out | $0.09 / GB |
Per-instance hourly + EBS storage. The live page does not explicitly show m6g.large.search pricing; retaining previous value of $0.142/instance-hour. gp3 storage confirmed at $0.122/GB-month from Pricing Example 3.

The rates above are per unit. Your bill is those rates times how hard your code leans on AWS OpenSearch, plus everything around it. PrePrice scans your project, finds where you call AWS OpenSearch, and computes your real cost per user and what to charge.
Find your real cost — freeAWS OpenSearch is billed per metered unit of usage. See the table above for each dimension and its rate, and the official pricing page for plan minimums and included allowances.
The per-unit rate is only one of the four numbers that set your bill. The others are how much your app uses AWS OpenSearch, how often, and across how many users. Long prompts, retries, multi-step agents, and uncached repeated context all multiply the rate. PrePrice models that usage from your code so the number is real, not a guess.
