Amazon Quick Pricing & Plans: Free, Plus, Professional, and Enterprise Compared
Amazon Quick launched on April 28, 2026 with a four-tier pricing model that starts free and scales to enterprise. The Plus tier at $20 per user per month (billed annually) costs a third less than Microsoft 365 Copilot's $30 per user per month, while the Professional and Enterprise tiers add a $250 per account per month infrastructure fee for advanced features like Business Intelligence (powered by QuickSight) and Quick Automate. But the sticker price only tells part of the story.
This breakdown covers every tier, the features gated behind each price point, the infrastructure costs that do not appear on the pricing page, and a direct cost comparison with Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini, and ChatGPT Teams. The goal is to help you calculate the real annual cost before committing your team.
Pricing verified May 2026. Amazon Quick pricing is based on publicly available information from aws.amazon.com/quick/pricing. Enterprise pricing may vary by contract terms. All competitor prices reflect published list rates as of May 2026.
Pricing Overview
Amazon Quick uses a four-tier pricing structure: Free, Plus, Professional, and Enterprise. Every tier requires an AWS account — a free registration at aws.amazon.com that takes about five minutes. The Professional and Enterprise tiers add a $250 per account per month infrastructure fee on top of per-user pricing. One account covers your entire team. Quick itself does not require other AWS infrastructure at the Free or Plus tiers, meaning a marketing team can use Quick without anyone configuring cloud servers or networks. The AWS account provides identity management and billing, nothing more.
The jump from Free to Plus is where most teams land. The Free tier works for individual exploration, while Plus adds the desktop app, shared Spaces, custom agents, and browser and M365 extensions for $20 per user per month with no infrastructure fee. The Professional and Enterprise tiers introduce agent hours — metered time for agentic and research workflows — with overage rates of $3 per agentic hour and $6 per research hour beyond the included allocation.

Free Tier Deep Dive
The free tier is functional enough for a single person evaluating whether Quick fits their workflow. Unlike some competitors that offer "free" tiers gated behind waitlists or limited to a chatbot, Quick's free tier gives you basic AI assistant access at no cost, which is enough to test whether the platform's approach works for you before committing to a paid tier.
What You Get
Free-tier users get basic AI assistant capabilities. The tier is designed for individual evaluation — testing whether Quick's core AI features meet your needs before upgrading to Plus for the full collaboration and desktop experience.
What You Do Not Get
The free tier is best understood as an evaluation license. It lets you test whether Quick's AI capabilities fit your workflow before committing. For team collaboration, custom agents, or desktop integration, the Plus tier at $20 per user per month (billed annually) is the natural upgrade.
Plus Tier Deep Dive
Plus is where Amazon Quick becomes a full collaboration platform rather than a basic AI chatbot. At $20 per user per month (billed annually), you get the desktop app, shared Spaces, custom agents, and browser and M365 extensions — with no infrastructure fee. The price point sits below every comparable enterprise AI assistant on the market.
What Plus Adds Over Free
Plus unlocks the desktop app, shared Spaces for team collaboration, custom agents, and browser and M365 extensions. There is no infrastructure fee at this tier, making it the most cost-effective option for teams focused on collaboration and agent creation rather than BI or governance.
Integration Depth at Plus
Plus includes browser extensions for Chrome, Edge, and Firefox, as well as M365 extensions that integrate Quick directly into your Microsoft workflow. Custom agents let you build multi-step automated workflows. Shared Spaces enable team collaboration around projects, grouping conversations, files, and agent outputs by topic.
MCP (Model Context Protocol) server support is also available. MCP is an open standard that lets AI assistants connect to external tools and data sources through a single interface. If your team builds custom internal tools, MCP lets Quick interact with them without writing a custom integration.
Professional Tier Deep Dive
Professional is where Amazon Quick adds governance, BI, and metered agentic compute. At $20 per user per month plus a $250 per account per month infrastructure fee, you get everything in Plus plus Business Intelligence dashboard viewing, RBAC and SSO, 25GB of index storage, and 4 agent hours per month (2 agentic + 2 research). Dashboard creation requires the Enterprise tier.
Agent Hours and Overage
Professional includes 4 agent hours per month: 2 agentic hours for automated multi-step workflows and 2 research hours for deep research tasks. If your team exceeds the included allocation, overage rates are $3 per agentic hour and $6 per research hour. Additional index storage beyond the included 25GB is billed at $5 per GB per month.
Who Needs Professional Over Plus
If your team needs Business Intelligence dashboards, RBAC-based access controls, SSO federation, or indexed data storage for organizational knowledge, Professional is the minimum tier. The $250 infrastructure fee is per account (not per user), so it amortizes well at scale — for a 50-person team, it adds just $5 per user per month on top of the $20 per-user cost.
Enterprise Tier Deep Dive
Enterprise pricing is $40 per user per month plus the same $250 per account per month infrastructure fee as Professional. The per-user cost doubles from Professional's $20 to $40, but the infrastructure fee stays the same. Enterprise adds Quick Automate, the ability to create dashboards (not just view them), 50GB of index storage (double Professional), and 8 agent hours per month (4 agentic + 4 research).
What the Premium Buys
The Enterprise tier exists for organizations that need automation at scale and expanded agentic compute. The additional $20 per user per month over Professional buys three categories of capability:
If your organization needs Quick Automate workflows, expanded agent hours, or dashboard creation capabilities, Enterprise is the appropriate tier. For organizations that only need BI dashboards and governance controls, Professional provides those at half the per-user cost ($20 vs $40). For teams focused on collaboration and agents without BI or governance, Plus at $20 per user per month with no infrastructure fee is the most cost-effective option.
Cost Comparison
Pricing comparisons for AI assistants are deceptive if they only compare sticker prices. Microsoft 365 Copilot costs $30 per user per month, but it requires a separate Microsoft 365 E3 ($36/user/mo) or E5 ($57/user/mo) license. Google Gemini for Workspace costs $19.99 per user per month, but requires a Google Workspace Business Standard ($14/user/mo) or higher plan. Amazon Quick Plus costs $20 per user per month (billed annually) with no infrastructure fee and no additional platform license required. Professional and Enterprise tiers add a $250 per account per month infrastructure fee that must be factored into team-level cost calculations.
100-Person Team: Annual Cost
The following table shows the annual AI assistant cost for a 100-person team. This includes only the AI assistant license, not the underlying platform licenses that some products require.
| Product | Per User / Month | 100 Users / Month | 100 Users / Year |
|---|---|---|---|
| Amazon Quick Plus | $20.00 | $2,000 | $24,000 |
| Google Gemini for Workspace | $19.99 | $1,999 | $23,988 |
| Microsoft Copilot Pro | $20.00 | $2,000 | $24,000 |
| ChatGPT Teams | $25.00 | $2,500 | $30,000 |
| Microsoft 365 Copilot | $30.00 | $3,000 | $36,000 |
| Amazon Quick Professional | $20.00 + $250/acct | $2,250 | $27,000 |
| Amazon Quick Enterprise | $40.00 + $250/acct | $4,250 | $51,000 |
Quick Plus vs M365 Copilot at scale: A 100-person team saves $12,000 per year choosing Amazon Quick Plus ($24,000) over Microsoft 365 Copilot ($36,000). That gap narrows if your team needs Professional features: the $250/account/month infrastructure fee adds $3,000/year, bringing the total to $27,000. However, organizations already invested in the Microsoft ecosystem may find Copilot's deep Office integration justifies the premium.
Who Should Choose Which Tier
The right tier depends less on budget and more on how your organization uses AI. A solo consultant who runs 10 research queries a week has fundamentally different requirements than a 500-person enterprise automating procurement workflows across three continents.
Decision shortcut: If your team needs collaboration and agents but not BI dashboards or governance, Plus at $20/user/month with no infrastructure fee is the right choice. If you need Business Intelligence and RBAC/SSO, Professional adds the $250/account infrastructure fee. Enterprise at $40/user/month is only necessary for Quick Automate, expanded agent hours, and dashboard creation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix Plus, Professional, and Enterprise licenses in the same organization?
AWS has not published detailed guidance on mixed-tier configurations within a single account. If your organization needs different tiers for different user groups, contact AWS sales to confirm whether mixed licensing is supported and how the $250/account/month infrastructure fee applies in that scenario. Each tier's feature set is defined independently, but the administrative and billing mechanics of mixing tiers on one account should be confirmed directly with AWS before committing.
Is there a discount for annual billing?
Yes. The Plus tier is priced at $20 per user per month billed annually. Professional and Enterprise annual pricing is available through AWS sales and may vary by commitment size and contract terms.
Does the free trial require a credit card?
No. The 30-day free trial is available for up to 25 users with no credit card required. The $250/account infrastructure fee is waived during the trial period, and trial users get access to Professional-tier features. At the end of 30 days, accounts without payment revert to the free tier. No charges are incurred unless you explicitly upgrade.
How does Amazon Quick pricing compare to Amazon Q Business?
Amazon Quick replaces Amazon Q Business, which previously offered tiered pricing for chat and index-based features. Quick's four-tier model (Free, Plus at $20/user/month, Professional at $20/user/month + $250/account infrastructure fee, Enterprise at $40/user/month + $250/account infrastructure fee) provides more granular options and adds capabilities that Q Business did not include, such as the desktop app, shared Spaces, and custom agents. For current pricing details, see the AWS Quick pricing page.
What are the overage rates for agent hours?
Professional and Enterprise tiers include metered agent hours (4 and 8 per month respectively). If you exceed the included allocation, overage rates are $3 per agentic hour and $6 per research hour. Additional index storage beyond the included tier allocation (25GB Professional, 50GB Enterprise) is billed at $5 per GB per month. The Free and Plus tiers do not have agent hour metering.
