  On my personal AWS account, Im paying them 0.17 cents a month.

  I wonder if they pay a fee.

    0.17 cents

    So is that less than a cent or is it 17 cents? If it’s the former, I don’t think it’s even possible to make a transaction that small.

    They’re bigger so it’s hard to know, but it’s usually something like 2.9% + 10c a transaction.

    At their scale though who knows

        This might’ve changed but 10 years ago the small shop next to my school said they wouldn’t allow card payments of under 1 EUR because they’d be losing money. In Estonia

        Nope. Just depends on the processor

  Once a month I’d have to pay a few pennies to Google for our cloud use at a school district I worked for. It always baffled me!

  They should almost just make it so even the free version of firebase has a $1 non refundable pre-payment so they can just whittle away at the pennies instead of getting charged processing/transaction fees on a $0.01 transaction.

  I think people would pay $1 to enable the paid plans. If you’re going that far, you’re getting $1 of use out of it.
