Positioning

$0.04/moentry price

100% below the category median

low $0.04median $8.50 · n=10high $30

Nova's whole pitch is price. Nova Micro ($0.035 input / $0.14 output per 1M tokens) and Nova Lite ($0.06 input / $0.24 output per 1M tokens) sit far below the category median of $8.4/mo, and even the flagship Nova Premier ($2.50 input / $12.50 output per 1M tokens) stays competitive for demanding enterprise work. Across the portfolio, batch processing takes roughly 50% off, which makes high-volume classification and extraction genuinely cheap.

Cost drivers

1Web Grounding Fees: real-time search on Nova Premier and Nova 2 Pro costs an extra $30.00 per 1K requests.
2Priority Tier Premiums: the Priority tier on Nova 2 Lite raises input to $0.525 per 1M tokens, up from the $0.30 Standard rate.
3Customization Commitments: Nova Canvas customization requires a one- or six-month commitment plus a storage fee of $1.95/month.
4Parallel Agent Billing: Nova Act runs $4.75 per agent hour, and parallel agents bill separately per instance.

Watch-outs

Early benchmarks were rough. The first Nova Pro release completed only a small fraction of tasks in one agentic test, which raises the question of paying for calls that do not land.

Strengths

The Nova Micro plan at $0.035/1M tok buys native integration with AWS services like S3, Lambda, and IAM.

Editor’s take

Nova Micro and Nova Lite are the right call for budget-conscious teams running high-volume RAG and extraction, while Nova Premier targets heavy enterprise reasoning inside Bedrock. If you would rather compare against a broad, established multimodal option outside AWS, Google Gemini at $20/mo is the reference point.
