Q

My tests generate and save additional log files. Will I see them in my AWS Device Farm reports?

Pricing

AWS Device Farm | Mobile Services

A

If you write data to logcat (Android) or the device log (iOS), those log entries will be included in the report. AWS Device Farm does not collect any non-standard logs or other artifacts, although you may transfer files via your test script using the device’s or device host’s Internet connection.

Q

How much does AWS Device Farm cost?

Pricing

AWS Device Farm | Mobile Services

A

Pricing is based on device minutes, which are determined by the duration of tests on each selected device. AWS Device Farm comes with a free trial of 1000 device minutes.* After that, customers are charged $0.17 per device minute. As your testing needs grow, you can opt for an unmetered testing plan, which allows unlimited testing for a flat monthly fee of $250 per device.

Q

What is a device minute?

Pricing

AWS Device Farm | Mobile Services

A

A device minute is the billing unit. Device minutes are a measurement of the time it takes (in minutes) to install, execute, and uninstall your app and tests on every device you have selected for your test run. The unit price is constant regardless of the device, test, or application type. Device minutes are only billed for tests that complete without any device or system errors. Similarly, for Remote Access sessions, device minutes are measured from the time it takes to prepare a device to your specification to completely removing any apps and data you placed on the device.

You can dynamically grow and shrink your usage according to your business needs without any upper limits or up-front commitments.

Q

What is the unmetered plan and how do device slots work?

Pricing

AWS Device Farm | Mobile Services

A

Unmetered plans allow unlimited testing and remote access starting at $250 per month. Unmetered pricing is based on the number of device slots you purchase for each usage type (i.e. automated test or remote access) and device family (i.e. Android or iOS) and are priced at $250 per slot per month. Device slots correspond to concurrency.

For instance, if you purchase ten automated test Android device slots and schedule a run on 100 Android devices, Device Farm will execute your tests on up to ten devices at a time until all tests are completed on your selected devices. Purchasing more slots would enable you to get your results faster. Regardless of how many tests or remote access sessions you have in a month, you are billed at the flat rate of $250 per device slot per month. You can cancel your subscription for one or more device slots at any time and the cancellation will take effect at your next renewal date (the day of the month that you purchased your first active device slot). To learn more, see our docs.

Pricing

You can also cancel your subscription for one or more device slots at any time and the cancellation will take effect at your next renewal date (the day of the month that you purchased your first active device slot).

Q

If I’m on an unmetered plan, can I still make use of metered billing?

Pricing

AWS Device Farm | Mobile Services

A

Yes. When creating a run, you can choose to make use of your unmetered device slots or use metered device minutes instead. Because concurrency is not limited on metered billing, this gives you the flexibility of running tests faster than would otherwise happen using your device slots.

What is a private device?

Pricing

AWS Device Farm | Mobile Services
