Amazon Location Services announces a price reduction of up to 75% for tracking and geofencing

Today, Amazon Location Service announced a price reduction of up to 75% for tracking position writes and up to 70% for geofence evaluations, depending on your usage levels. Developers can use Amazon Location Trackers to track the current and historic location of devices in order to optimize operations such as asset management and delivery dispatch. They can evaluate location updates from their devices against their geofences to detect and act when a tracked device enters or exits a geographical boundary. This event-driven setup makes it easy for applications to scale in size and sophistication as needed. Amazon location now offers a four-tiered pricing model for tracking and geofencing, based on monthly usage volumes. Customers using geofencing may see their bill decrease by 20% to 70%, and those using tracking by up to 75%, depending on where their usage falls within the different tiers. This new tiered pricing and price reduction allows customers to scale their usage to their operations and business needs more cost-effectively. Amazon Location Service is available in the following AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Ireland), Europe (Stockholm), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney) Region, and Asia Pacific (Tokyo). All of the Amazon Location price tiers and price reductions will be effective September 1, 2023 and will be automatically reflected on your AWS bill.
