AWS Beanstalk itself is free,

but you will be charged for the underlying AWS resources has a pay-as-you-go pricing model, The cost of running an application on AWS Beanstalk depends on the following factors:

  • The number of Amazon EC2 instances that you use
  • The amount of storage that you use
  • The amount of bandwidth that you use
  • The type of database that you use

You can start with the AWS Beanstalk free tier. The free tier for a year includes the following:

  • 24/7 free of specific types of Amazon EC2 compute time (Compute)
  • 5 GB of Amazon S3 (Storage)
  • Amazon RDS 750 Hours usage per month (Database)
  • Amazon DynamoDB 25 GB of storage (Database)
  • Also a lot of other free serveries you can check here or You can use the AWS pricing calculator to estimate the cost of running your application here.

Free tier is enough to run a small application for free. Once you exceed the limits of the free tier, you will be charged for the resources that you use.

To start with the free tier, you will need to create an AWS account. Once you have an account, you can create a new AWS Beanstalk environment. When you create an environment, you will be able to select the free tier as your pricing option.
