  This is similar to Vercel’s enterprise offerings. We wanted to use Vercel with more than 10 people at a previous employer and opted not to due the price. https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/prodview-lwqascgzju3bo https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/prodview-lwqascgzju3bo

    It doesn't really start at $250k. It's just a dumb quirk of the AWS marketplace participation process. As a vendor, if you want to participate, you have to have a public listing page with a price. But many vendors don't actually want you to initiate the buying process that way. They want you to talk to them first, negotiate a deal/contract, and only then handle the payment through AWS marketplace (presumably with pre-committed spend you already have on AWS) via something called "Private OFfers" So lots of marketplace pages have an absurdly high public listing price to discourage people from using that route.

  <Vercel CTO> So, why this price is there is complicated within the way this marketplace works. In practice, you talk to sales and these figures are irrelevant. From the page: For custom pricing, EULA, or a private contract, please contact awsmarketplace@vercel.com for a private offer.

    Former CTO of one of worlds largest banks here. Whether at a 2 trillion enterprise or a 3 person startup, I try very hard to not buy from SaaS that doesn't have a price or makes me deal with a sales person instead of hands on the tech. Big advocate of AWS Marketplace cutting out the spend on sales instead of engineering, sad to see this ploy destroy its value prop.
