You can get started with Amazon CloudWatch for free. Most AWS Services (EC2, S3, Kinesis, etc.) send metrics for free to CloudWatch. With the free tier, you can get basic monitoring metrics at 5 min frequency, 10 detailed metrics at 1 min frequency and 1 million API requests. Additional details are available here.
There is no up-front commitment or minimum fee. You simply pay for what you use and will be charged at the end of the month for your usage. There is a cost for each custom metric, for each dashboard you create, per alarm metric (cost is different for standard resolution metric, high resolution metric or composite metric), per GB of log data ingested, per synthetic canary run, per RUM event processed, etc. Overall, it is a challenge to estimate the total cost of AWS CloudWatch per month.
