Amazon SQS offers a generous free tier, beyond which it remains very cost-effective. The cost per million messages is less than a dollar, making it an economical choice.
The cost-effectiveness of AWS, including Amazon SQS, depends on usage patterns. For example, using API Gateway with Lambda instead of always-on EC2 instances, or opting for DynamoDB over more expensive database solutions, can reduce costs significantly. AWS provides multiple options for optimizing costs based on organizational needs and data requirements.
The pricing is good, although improvements in FIFO pricing could be advantageous. Using standard queues is affordable, but a more progressive pricing strategy for greater volumes is advisable to enable light load users.

Amazon SQS is very cost-effective. A certain amount of messages per month are free, and only after exceeding this do charges incur, which are based on a per-million message rate. The service itself is quite cheap unless it involves a massive scale.

Part of the reason we went for SQS is that it's a pay-as-you-use licensing model. In addition, they offer a significant amount of free monthly transactions before you start paying. It's possible that down the line SQS will become too expensive and we may need to look for an alternative.

The pricing of Amazon SQS is reasonable. The first million requests are free every month, and after, it's cost 40 cents for every million requests. There are not any additional fees.

Pricing of the SQS is cheap and offers 1million invocation within free tier and above that 40 cents per million requests. However, you need to have your consumer code pull the SQS constantly to get new messages. Not always you will have some messages to consume. These are called empty reads. These empty reads are also counted against your request count. If you dont control them, you will get good charges on SQS.
A separate team handles licensing. I can't speak to any pricing. However, my understanding is that the solution is moderately priced. It's rather competitive.
Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) is a fully managed message queuing service that enables you to decouple and scale microservices, distributed systems, and serverless applications. SQS eliminates the complexity and overhead associated with managing and operating message oriented middleware, and empowers developers to focus on differentiating work. Using SQS, you can send, store, and receive messages between software components at any volume, without losing messages or requiring other...
Amazon SQS is cost-effective. On a scale of one to ten, where one is very cheap, I would rate the pricing as one.
It's quite economical for me. I would say a rating of four to five out of five is appropriate, as charges are based on usage.

I don't know about pricing.

The pricing is rather affordable, and I would rate it at two to three out of ten, with ten being the most expensive.
The pricing and licensing details are abstracted from me, so I have not looked into them.

Compared to EC2 and other services, Amazon SQS' pricing is cheaper.
The solution has a monthly subscription, which costs around 22 dollars.
The solution costs 200 dollars. We don't manage it if we don't use any queues.
Amazon SQS is moderately priced.
The pricing model is pay-as-you-use. It depends on your usage and configuration. But generally, it's better. The cost benefits are better for us.
SQS's pricing is very good - I would rate it nine out of ten.
