MAU: Monthly Active Users

  • A user is counted as a MAU if, within a calendar month, there is an identity operation related to that user, such as sign-up, sign-in, token refresh, password change, or a user account attribute is updated. You are not charged for subsequent sessions or for inactive users within that calendar month.
  • There is separate pricing for users who sign in directly with their credentials from a User Pool and for users who sign in through an enterprise directory through SAML federation.
