### Billing and Cost Visibility
- AWS offers a [**free tier**](https://aws.amazon.com/free/) of service, that allows very limited usage of resources at no cost. For example, a micro instance and small amount of storage is available for no charge. (If you have an old account but starting fresh, sign up for a new one to qualify for the free tier.) [AWS Activate](https://aws.amazon.com/activate/) extends this to tens of thousands of dollars of free credits to startups in [certain funds or accelerators](https://aws.amazon.com/activate/portfolio-detail/).
- AWS offers a [**free tier**](https://aws.amazon.com/free/) of service, that allows very limited usage of resources at no cost. For example, a micro instance and small amount of storage is available for no charge. Many services are only eligible for the free tier for the first twelve months that an account exists, but other services offer a free usage tier indefinitely. (If you have an old account but starting fresh, sign up for a new one to qualify for the free tier.) [AWS Activate](https://aws.amazon.com/activate/) extends this to tens of thousands of dollars of free credits to startups in [certain funds or accelerators](https://aws.amazon.com/activate/portfolio-detail/).
- You can set [**billing alerts**](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/free-tier-alarms.html) to be notified of unexpected costs, such as costs exceeding the free tier. You can set these in a [granular way](https://wblinks.com/notes/aws-tips-i-wish-id-known-before-i-started/#billing).
- AWS offers [Cost Explorer](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/cost-explorer-what-is.html), a tool to get better visibility into costs.
- Unfortunately, the AWS console and billing tools are rarely enough to give good visibility into costs. For large accounts, the AWS billing console can time out or be too slow to use.
