What is Amazon Connect?

Amazon Connect is an AI-powered omnichannel cloud contact center service from AWS, offering voice, chat, SMS, email, and video support with a drag-and-drop flow designer for building IVR and self-service experiences. It includes a unified agent workspace, task management, conversational analytics, and AI capabilities powered by Amazon's speech and language models, all running on AWS infrastructure.

Unlike most contact center software, Amazon Connect uses pure pay-as-you-go pricing with no seat licenses or minimum fees. Official rates include 0.038 dollars per minute for voice, 0.01 dollars per chat message, 0.08 dollars per email, and 0.014 dollars per SMS or third-party message, plus separate phone number fees. New AWS accounts get a 12 month free tier with limited monthly usage.
