Pricing¶
Simple, predictable pricing: a flat monthly software fee per tier with zero per-metric charges. AWS infrastructure costs are billed directly by AWS to your account at cost — there is no per-GB ingestion pricing that punishes volume.
| Tier | Price | Who it's for |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | $79/mo | CloudTrail ingestion, timeline, and static rules; up to 5 sources |
| Essential | $199/mo | Adds VPC Flow Logs, GuardDuty, ML baselines, and the flow-log cost guardrail; up to 25 sources |
| Advanced | $499/mo | Adds correlation, MITRE mapping, custom rules, AI playbooks, reports, threat intel, and compliance posture; multi-account up to 200 sources |
| Enterprise | $999/mo | Adds response & remediation, SSO + RBAC, Log Processor cross-correlation; unlimited sources |
| Enterprise+ | Custom | Large or multi-account deployments: annual pricing, custom terms, dedicated onboarding and SLA, via AWS Marketplace Private Offer |

What is included and what AWS bills¶
The software fee covers the AI SIEM product at your tier. You pay AWS directly for the infrastructure it uses, which is kept low because AI SIEM reuses your existing Log Processor stack (shared VPC, OpenSearch, networking) rather than standing up a separate cluster.
Because the fee is flat per tier, you can deploy one or more instances at your selected tier or any lower tier. Typical AWS infrastructure cost is $20–$80/mo for Lambda, S3, DynamoDB, and Bedrock; OpenSearch is shared with Log Processor (no additional cluster cost). CloudTrail and VPC Flow Logs carry their own AWS charges regardless of AI SIEM. See the flow-log cost guardrail and the cost tables in getting started for detail.
