The more powerful an instance, the faster it will complete a task. While a larger instance may have a higher rate, it can also save you money depending on the nature of your tasks.
For example, if it takes approximately 4 hours for a Starter instance to complete a job, then it might be cheaper to select a Professional instance and complete the job in around 1 hour. With “Hourly Rate”, this example works out to a savings of over 20% (4 hours @ $0.90/hr = $3.60 versus 1 hour @ $2.80/hr = $2.80). Regardless of which instance size you select the usage costs will be the same.
However, if you have jobs on an intermittent basis, anticipate idle time, and are okay with waiting longer for jobs to complete, then it may be prudent to select a Starter instance.

Tip: Most users begin with a Starter instance, and scale up if they need a faster turnaround time, or if they have large jobs being run on an ongoing basis and want to save money.

* Additional engines allows you to process jobs in parallel. You can add as many engines as you want, but keep in mind that performance for larger jobs may be constrained by hardware, we therefore recommend starting with one engine per core.
Data transfer and storage costs are only high when processing and storing large volumes of data. The defaults below are suitable in most cases.

If you are paying hourly for the instance, then you will be billed monthly for the instance and your data transfer, storage, and backup costs. If you purchased an annual subscription for the instance, then you will pay the up-front one time payment for that instance plus you will be billed monthly for your data transfer, storage, and backup costs. All invoices are charged in USD.
We accept all major credit cards. Bulk credits can also be pre-purchased via other payment methods.
You are not charged the FME Cloud hourly instance costs. The only costs are the data storage costs as your data still persists on the disk.
All instances are charged a minimum of 1 hour for up-time each time they are launched. For example, if you run your instance for 40 minutes, you’ll be billed for 1 hour of usage and if you launch an instance twice within an hour you'll be charged for two hours.
Applicable sales taxes vary based on region. All prices on this page are in US Dollars. Please contact us or your local partner for more details.
You can launch an FME Cloud instance in one of six AWS regions around the world: US East (Northern Virginia), US West (Oregon), Sydney, EU Frankfurt, EU Ireland, and Canada (Montreal).
A detailed comparison is available here. (Note: in addition to on-premises deployment, you can also deploy FME Server in your own private cloud.)
