HAQM Augmented AI (HAQM A2I) allows humans and machine learning models to work together to increase the speed and accuracy of machine learning (ML) models. When human review is needed, HAQM A2I guides a human reviewer step-by-step in a process called a workflow. Three groups of humans can provide labels using these workflows: HAQM Mechanical Turk workers, your employees, or third-party vendors.
You pay for each human-reviewed object (which can be an image, an audio recording, a section of text, etc). If you use an AWS Marketplace Vendor or HAQM Mechanical Turk, you pay an additional cost per human reviewed object. If you use your own employees for reviews, there is no additional cost per reviewed object.
Free Tier
As part of the AWS Free Tier, you can get started with HAQM A2I for free. For the first year a total of 500 human reviews through HAQM A2I are free (42 objects per month). This excludes any costs incurred for using an AWS Marketplace workforce vendor or HAQM Mechanical Turk.

Workforce pricing
If you use a vendor, the cost per review is set by the vendor. You can see each vendor’s pricing details in the AWS Marketplace. If you use HAQM Mechanical Turk for reviews, you are charged per object per reviewer. We recommend that you use multiple reviewers per object to improve overall accuracy.
Pricing details
Example 1: Using HAQM A2I with HAQM Rekognition (internal employees for human reviews)
A social media company uses HAQM Rekognition and HAQM A2I to moderate images uploaded on their app. They first analyze images with HAQM Rekognition and send a portion of images for human review. They send 150,000 images a month for human review. Using HAQM A2I’s built-in workflow for image moderation, their employees review all of the 150,000 images.
Because the company uses internal employees, the price for the first 100,000 human-reviewed images is $0.03 per image, and the price for the next 50,000 images is $0.02 per image.
Total cost = 100,000 human-reviewed images x $0.03 per image + 50,000 human-reviewed images x $0.02 per image
= $3,000 + $1,000
= $4,000
HAQM Rekognition costs are additional. See HAQM Rekognition pricing page for details.
Example 2: Using HAQM A2I with HAQM Textract (internal employees for human-reviews)
A document processing company uses HAQM Textract and HAQM A2I to extract form data from their documents. They first analyze documents with HAQM Textract and send a portion of documents for human review. They send 200,000 pages per month for human review. Using HAQM A2I’s built-in workflow for document processing, their employees review all of the 200,000 pages.
Because the company uses internal employees, the price for the first 100,000 human-reviewed pages is $0.03 per page, and the price for the next 100,000 pages is $0.02 per page.
Total cost = 100,000 human-reviewed pages x $0.03 per page + 100,000 human-reviewed pages x $0.02 per page
= $3,000 + $2,000
= $5,000
HAQM Textract costs are additional. See HAQM Textract pricing page for details.
Example 3: Using HAQM A2I with HAQM Textract (HAQM Mechanical Turk for human-reviews)
A document processing company uses HAQM Textract and HAQM A2I to extract form data from their documents. They first analyze documents with HAQM Textract and send a portion of documents for human review. They send 200,000 pages per month for human review. They decide a reviewer payment of $0.012 per page. They also decide to have each page reviewed 3 times to improve the accuracy of the human reviews.
Using HAQM A2I’s built-in workflow for document processing, humans review all 200,000 pages.
Because the company uses HAQM Mechanical Turk, this workflow includes an additional charge of $0.036 for each human-reviewed page to pay the reviewers.
Total cost = (100,000 human-reviewed pages x $0.03 per page) + (100,000 human-reviewed pages x $0.02 per page) + (200,000 human-reviewed pages x $0.012 reviewer payment per page x 3 reviewers per page)
= $3,000 + $2,000 + $7,200
= $12,200
