Amazon Nova pricing

Amazon Nova API Pricing

Amazon Nova rows use the official AWS Price List for Amazon Bedrock in us-east-1. Nova 2 Lite is priced on its Global cross-region profile (in-Region and Geo profiles cost 10% more); the first-generation Nova models have no Global profile and use the us-east-1 rate.

How we verify

API cost estimate

Estimate Nova API Cost

Choose a current Amazon Nova model from the same pricing rows, enter input tokens, output tokens, and request volume, then review the estimated monthly API cost.

Amazon Nova cost planning

Estimate Amazon Nova API cost before monthly usage scales.

Start with realistic input tokens, output tokens, model choice, request volume, and any prompt cache read pricing rules that apply. Then compare the estimate against current model pricing and budget limits before launch.

Nova billing semantics

Where you call Nova from, and which tier you pick, changes the price.

These rows come from the AWS Price List for Amazon Bedrock in us-east-1. Other Regions can cost more; check the Bedrock pricing page for your Region.

Global vs Regional

Nova 2 Lite is listed at its Global cross-region price. In-Region and Geo profiles (us., eu., jp.) cost 10% more on every token type. Nova Pro, Lite, and Micro have no Global profile.

Batch, Flex, and Priority

Batch and Flex cost half the standard rate. Priority costs 75% more. Nova 2 Lite and Nova Pro support Flex and Priority; Nova Lite and Micro offer Batch only.

Prompt caching

Cache reads cost a quarter of the input rate and cache writes are free. Nova caches up to 20K tokens of a prompt, so the saving is smaller on very long prompts.

Amazon Nova API pricing guide

What is Amazon Nova API pricing?

Amazon Nova API pricing is the usage-based cost of running Nova models through API requests. The practical estimate depends on the selected model, input tokens, output tokens, monthly request volume, retries, and any listed caching or discount rules.

How to estimate Amazon Nova API cost

Estimate one representative request first: input tokens, expected output tokens, selected Nova models, request volume, retry rate, and prompt cache read pricing assumptions when they are listed. Then multiply by monthly traffic.

Use the table on this page to compare available Amazon Nova rows per 1M tokens. Not listed values stay visible as Not listed, so unknown prices are not accidentally treated as zero.

Compare Amazon Nova models

Compare total workflow cost, not only the cheapest input token price. Output length, quality, retries, context size, and fallback routing can change the real monthly API bill.

Amazon Nova model use cases

Which Amazon Nova models are usually used for.

Use cases are planning categories, not pricing promises. Estimate each workflow with its own token shape, expected answer length, quality requirement, and fallback behavior.

High-volume AWS workloads

Nova Micro and Nova Lite are among the cheapest models on Bedrock for classification, extraction, and routing when your stack already runs on AWS.

Long documents and video

Nova 2 Lite reads text, images, and video with a 1M-token context, priced lower on the Global cross-region profile.

Cheaper offline jobs

Batch and Flex cut Nova token prices in half for work that can wait, and Priority costs 75% more for the fastest responses.

Provider comparison

Amazon Nova pricing vs OpenAI, Claude, and Gemini.

Compare Amazon Nova with Gemini Flash, GPT mini models, and Mistral by input price, output price, cached-input behavior, context needs, latency, quality, and cost per successful task. Always verify current provider pricing before launch or procurement decisions.

Monthly spend control

How to control monthly Amazon Nova API spend.

Estimate before launch

Model a normal, high, and worst-case month with expected requests, input tokens, output tokens, retries, and model routes before exposing a feature to real traffic.

Set budget limits

Decide which app, workspace, customer tier, or internal team can spend against the provider budget. Review burn rate weekly during launches and pricing changes.

Reduce avoidable tokens

Shorten repeated instructions, cap output length, avoid sending full history when a summary works, and route routine tasks to lower-cost models when quality testing supports it.

How much does the Amazon Nova API cost?

Amazon Nova API cost depends on the selected model, input tokens, output tokens, request volume, retries, and any prompt cache read pricing or discount rules that apply. Use the pricing table and calculator with your own workload assumptions instead of relying on a single average price.

How do I estimate monthly Amazon Nova API cost?

Estimate one request with input tokens, expected output tokens, model choice, and current per-1M-token pricing. Then multiply by requests per user, active users, days per month, retry rate, and fallback calls.

Which Amazon Nova models are usually used for?

Nova models are usually evaluated for workflows such as high-volume aws workloads, long documents and video, cheaper offline jobs. The best route depends on quality, latency, context size, output length, and monthly budget.

Is Amazon Nova cheaper than OpenAI, Claude, or Gemini?

Amazon Nova can be cheaper or more expensive depending on the exact model, prompt size, output length, cache eligibility, retry rate, and quality target. Compare total workflow cost across providers before switching production traffic.

Why are some Amazon Nova prices shown as Not listed?

Not listed means the current local pricing source does not expose a confirmed numeric value for that field. It is intentionally not treated as zero. Check the official Amazon Nova pricing page and billing dashboard before launch.

How can I control monthly Amazon Nova API spend?

Control spend by setting monthly budget limits, measuring input and output tokens separately, capping output length, reducing repeated context, reviewing retry cost, and comparing model routes before high-volume traffic grows.
