A simplified S3 pricing page

It's not granular enough for small scale/personal use. If someone were considering using S3 for a small project, or even just personal backup, this wouldn't really help them.<p>The sliders should offer some way to get more granularity. Maybe scale the sliders the higher they go, or have a separate option to select the scale you want to work on.

"Amazon's pricing page was kind of.. ass."<p>Given Heroku's popularity and the simplicity of its sliders, why has Amazon not put in a few days to build this on S3? I'm asking genuinely as I'm wondering if it really is enterprisey oversight or it really gets them more signups or usage without providing this kind of tool.<p>As a historical sideline, Amazon is no stranger to sliders. Its diamond search (of all things) was one of the first uses of sliders afaik to narrow down a search, in the early days of Ajax (<a href="http://ajaxian.com/archives/ajax-showcase-amazoncom-diamond-search" rel="nofollow">http://ajaxian.com/archives/ajax-showcase-amazoncom-diamond-...</a> - mentioned in May, 2005)<p>Also surprising there's no affiliate programme for S3, coming from the mother of all affiliate programmes.

Doesn't work on my phone. I am used to seeing slider controls that don't support dragging on touchscreens, but these don't appear to support the fallback of tapping a point on the scale to move the slide to that point.

Nice. Feature request: please make the scale logarithmic (at least as an option).

Busy with work through this weekend most likely.. feel free to submit a pull request for log scaling: <a href="https://github.com/kevindavis/s3-pricing" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/kevindavis/s3-pricing</a><p>Will obviously give credit..

For me complex part is S3 pricing is IO requests. I have no clue how many requests expect. If you could find approximate values and make a list like: Webpage (1000 Read requests and 10 Write requests), Web Application (10000 read and 10000 write), etc. Or some other way to get an idea of what it should be approximately...<p>That's my biggest problem with pricing S3.. May be I am alone in that.

The sliders for Storage and Data transfer would be more helpful if I could choose lower value.<p>More people work with Gigabytes than Terrabytes.

Azure has had this pricing scale for a long time.

I don't know why most people don't just use the official AWS calculator. <a href="http://calculator.s3.amazonaws.com/calc5.html" rel="nofollow">http://calculator.s3.amazonaws.com/calc5.html</a><p>Sure it's not web 2.0 and ajaxy but it supports almost every single service and is easy to use.

Wow! S3 is really expensive.

let me know if folks have any problems / would like any additional features

Can you open source the code? I can use it.

Maybe you could add in price comparisons to Dropbox, since they are just an S3 reseller.

Took me a while to understand this is not about the world's best mobile phone :)
