AWS Global Accelerator does not offer a free trial period before committing to a paid plan. According to available information, AWS Global Accelerator pricing is based on a fixed hourly fee for each accelerator you deploy plus data transfer fees, with no mention of a trial or free tier option[10][11].
The pricing structure includes a fixed hourly charge of $0.025 per accelerator and additional data transfer fees depending on the volume of data and geographic regions involved[2][6]. Unlike some other AWS services that provide free trials or free tiers (such as the T4g instance free trial for EC2), AWS Global Accelerator currently does not provide a free usage period or trial to test the service without cost[7][10].
You can, however, start using AWS Global Accelerator on a pay-as-you-go basis without long-term commitments, allowing you to stop using it at any time if it does not meet your needs[3]. But you will incur charges from the moment you provision an accelerator until it is deleted.
In summary, while AWS Global Accelerator is easy to set up and manage, there is no official trial period or free tier available to test the service before paying. You will be billed hourly plus data transfer fees as soon as you start using it[10][11].
