AWS – Amazon QuickSight launches new session capacity pricing options, embedding without user management and a developer portal for embedded analytics

Amazon QuickSight Enterprise Edition now provides a new session capacity-based pricing model with scalable pricing for large-scale deployments. Session capacity pricing allows developers, independent software vendors (ISVs), and enterprises to benefit from lower per-session rates as they roll out embedded analytics and BI to hundreds of thousands of users. In such scenarios, average session consumption per user is often low (<10 sessions/month) but aggregate session usage across users is high. With session capacity pricing, users are simply charged in 30 minute blocks of usage starting with first access. You can get started with session capacity pricing at $250/month for 500 sessions. Annual session capacities (starting at $20,000/year for 50,000 sessions) offer packs of sessions available across a 12-month period, providing flexibility across production ramp periods, and busy/lean periods of the year (e.g., first/last week of the month, holidays).
