The pricing is dependent on the load being run. AWS Fargate follows a pay-as-you-go model, which provides flexibility. The pricing details can be easily found on the AWS Fargate website.

I would advise others that before they use this solution, they figure out what they want to achieve. There are many solutions available and you should use the most appropriate one. The main concept is, to use the most managed service you can get because that's the point of the cloud. So, try Lambda. If you can't do Lambda, use Fargate. If you can't Fargate, then use ECS. If you can't do ECS, then you can use ROSA or Kubernetes, or something like that. But if you end up with a virtual machine, then question yourself, "Why are you in the cloud in the first place?" This solution costs a bit more than ECS, but it's not terrible. It's four times less than ROSA, so it's good. It costs more than Lambda. So, if you have to use it and you can't use Lambda, then use Fargate. That's the concept. I think AWS Fargate is worth its money.
We would advise that this solution has a slightly-higher price point than others on the market. There is a free plan available for start-ups, but the free and lower range licensing models do not provide the full functionality.
A new compute engine that enables you to use containers as a fundamental compute primitive without having to manage the underlying instances. With Fargate, you don’t need to provision, configure, or scale virtual machines in your clusters to run containers. Fargate can be used with Amazon ECS today, with plans to support Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes (Amazon EKS) in the future.
Fargate has flexible configuration options so you can closely match your application needs and...

AWS Fargate is costly compared to AWS EBS. However, it is worth the money, especially for enterprise customers.
Fargate is billed based on the amount of processing and storage required for the solution to run, and the pricing is very fair.
AWS Fargate is considered to have more costly resources, particularly for smaller startups or companies with limited cost capacity.
I am not familiar with the exact pricing of AWS Fargate since we have special deals as part of a bundle of services.
AWS is an on-demand service.
The tool is suitable for testing. You have to pay for AWS only.
We have obtained a significant discount on the pricing, so I wouldn't consider it as expensive. It's quite reasonable.

I rate the price of AWS Fargate a four out of five.
