With Amazon QLDB, you pay only for what you use with no minimum fees or mandatory service usage. You are billed separately for write IO requests, read IO requests, journal storage, indexed storage, and data transfer.
Database storage and IOs
Storage consumed by your Amazon QLDB ledger is billed per GB-month, and IOs consumed are billed per million requests. You pay only for the storage and IOs your Amazon QLDB ledger consumes. Storage includes metadata, indexes, history, and the data you write. You do not need to provision either storage or IOs in advance.

Data transfer
Data transfer “in” and “out” refer to transfer into and out of Amazon QLDB. There is no additional charge for data transferred between QLDB and other AWS services within the same AWS Region (in other words, $0.00 per GB). Data transferred across AWS Regions (such as between QLDB in the US East [N. Virginia] Region and Amazon EC2 in the EU [Ireland] Region) is charged on both sides of the transfer. As part of the AWS Free Tier, AWS customers receive free 15 GB of data transfer out each month, aggregated across all AWS services for one year except in the AWS GovCloud (US) Region.
