DynamoDB has separate pricing. I'm not sure about the exact costs, as they charge based on Lambda function usage. So, if a Lambda function is invoked with every call, and we receive 5,000 calls daily, that means 5,000 Lambda invocations. So, Amazon DynamoDB would charge accordingly. So, AWS has different pricing plans.
Compared to a high-end relational database, it's cheap. But then it doesn't have the capabilities of a high-end relational database because it's not meant to be a high-end relational database. So, it's like looking at what the price difference is between a scooter and a Bentley or a GTR. They are means of transport that are in a different league altogether. So, you don't compare a Bentley with a scooter. The pricing is based on usage. DynamoDB is one of the services within Amazon Web Services. So, the pricing for anything in cloud services is based on usage and volume. So, the more you use it and the more volume you pump into it, the more the price will go up. But that is the normal business case for any storage service in the cloud.

On a scale of one to ten, where one is a high price and ten is a low price, I rate the pricing a seven. It is not the cheapest, but it is not the costliest either.
It is a little expensive. It is dependent on the license you use. The license we now have is for the consumption of reading. It's around $80 each month, or more.
There are no separate license costs. You can get committed capacity or transaction-based pricing. If you're doing it on demand, they charge based on whether you're reading or writing. They charge $1.25 for every million rights to the database and 25 cents for every million reads from the database. The first 25 gigabytes of storage are free, and they charge 25 cents a gigabyte a month. So, it's a very different world. It's a quarter a gigabyte a month. You can store a lot of data. They have a separate fee for automated backup, and if you want it globally distributed, where it's distributed around the world, there's a slightly different price. It's like utility billing. They charge you based on usage. I would rate it a five out of five in terms of pricing. It's a very effective solution.
We used a credit from AWS for this solution. I don't remember specific details about the cost, but it is costly. I rate the price a two out of ten. I live in Turkey, and because of the currency, it is high. I think Amazon needs to create a cluster or environment in this geographic territory so we can spend in our currency and not dollars.
Amazon DynamoDB is a fully managed NoSQL database service that provides fast and predictable performance with seamless scalability. You can use Amazon DynamoDB to create a database table that can store and retrieve any amount of data, and serve any level of request traffic. Amazon DynamoDB automatically spreads the data and traffic for the table over a sufficient number of servers to handle the request capacity specified by the customer and the amount of data stored, while maintaining...
I rate the pricing a six out of ten.

The product has a pay-as-you-go pricing model.
The solution is expensive.
The solution was free to use one month ago, but now it is a paid service. Amazon DynamoDB is not an expensive solution.
Amazon DynamoDB is a cheap solution.
The solution is cheaper than Cosmos DB. If an organization doesn’t have much data to store, they can use the solution for free.

Its subscription cost is lower than similar databases offered by other vendors.
