AWS Consulting Pricing
Flexible AWS consulting designed around the help you actually need — from one-off architecture reviews to same-week support slots and fractional architecture support.
Pricing philosophy
We price for outcomes, not seats. Most engagements are scoped, fixed and time-boxed, so you know what you're paying for before work starts. There are no long managed services lock-ins.

Comparison with hiring or managed services
Hiring a senior AWS architect typically takes 3–6 months and locks in a salary regardless of demand. Managed services contracts give you operational ownership but tend to be long, broad and expensive. Consulting sits in the middle — senior input when you need it, without the commitment.
