IICan AWS credits pay for SNS?
AWS Activate credits pay for eligible AWS services, and Amazon Simple Notification Service usage is billed on your AWS invoice like any other service. Activate Founders gives $1,000 to start, up to $5,000; you apply for it yourself. AWS promotional credits do not pay Savings Plans or Reserved Instance upfront fees.
For a larger project on SNS, a vetted AWS partner can request funding only partners can file: MAP for a migration, POC to test something, incremental workload funding for new work. For startups that is usually $50K to $150K. Depends on the workload; AWS approves.
| Funding | Who files it | Amount | When it fits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) | Your matched AWS partner | $50K to $150K for startups. Depends on the workload; AWS approves. | You are not on AWS yet and want to migrate. |
| Proof of concept (POC) funding | Your matched AWS partner | $50K to $150K for startups. Depends on the workload; AWS approves. | You want to test something, whether or not you are on AWS today. |
| Incremental workload (IW) funding | Your matched AWS partner | $50K to $150K for startups. Depends on the workload; AWS approves. | You are already on AWS and are launching new work: a new AI feature, a new customer or a new contract. |
| AWS Activate Founders | Founder applies | $1,000 to start, up to $5,000 | Self-funded startups with no investor or accelerator behind them. |
| AWS Activate Portfolio | Founder applies | up to $200,000 | Startups backed by a VC firm, accelerator or angel investor that is an AWS Activate Provider. |
