Why Switch from AWS IoT Core to EMQX?

Unlock true freedom, scale, and predictable costs for your next-generation IoT infrastructure.

Save Up to 80%
Drastically reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) compared to AWS's complex, pay-per-message model. Get predictable, transparent billing at scale.
Full MQTT 5.0 Compliance
Full compliance with the latest MQTT standard ensures future-proof connectivity and superior features like shared subscriptions and request/response patterns.
No Service Limits/Quotas
Unlike AWS, EMQX's dedicated clusters eliminate artificial throttling, device limits, or enforced quotas, providing true horizontal scaling capacity.
Multi-Cloud Freedom
Avoid being locked into a proprietary ecosystem. Deploy flexibly across AWS, Azure, GCP, or on-premise using our open, source-available core.

Escape the Hidden Costs of AWS IoT Core Pricing

Tired of navigating a maze of unpredictable fees and architectural constraints? See why enterprises are switching to EMQX for transparency and control.

AWS IoT Core Pain Points

Complex & Unpredictable Pricing

Costs are fragmented across connectivity, messages, rules, and shadows, making budgeting a guessing game and "bill shock" a constant risk.

Strategic Vendor Lock-In

Deep integration with the proprietary AWS ecosystem creates significant technical and financial barriers to migration, limiting your future flexibility.

Punitive Scaling Costs

Pay-as-you-go fees for every message and action escalate dramatically with high-volume workloads, penalizing you for scaling successfully.

Limited MQTT 5.0 Support

Incomplete standards support forces developers to build complex and costly workarounds for essential features like shared subscriptions.

The EMQX Cloud Advantage

Transparent & Simple Plans

Choose from a free-tier Serverless plan or a flat-rate Dedicated plan. Our Dedicated plans offer unlimited messages and rule executions.

Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC)

Deploy a fully managed EMQX cluster in your own AWS, Azure, or GCP account. Use your existing cloud credits and consolidate billing.

All-Inclusive at Scale

Our Dedicated plans offer a fixed hourly rate that includes unlimited messages and rule executions. Scale your traffic without scaling your costs.

100% MQTT 5.0 Compliant

Leverage the full power of the most current IoT protocol without proprietary constraints or missing features. Innovate faster.

EMQX Advantages: Performance, Scale, and Control

We deliver the infrastructure that keeps pace with your most ambitious IoT projects.

Dedicated Architecture
Achieve maximum control, security, and TCO savings by deploying EMQX in dedicated clusters, avoiding the performance risk of multi-tenant environments.
Ultra-low Latency
EMQX's soft real-time architecture guarantees sub-millisecond end-to-end latency for mission-critical real-time applications, even under millions of concurrent connections.
Predictable Performance
The massive concurrent capacity allows EMQX to handle millions of connections and sustain high-throughput traffic without the throttling or cost spikes associated with multi-tenant clouds.
All-Inclusive Features
Get the integrated SQL rule engine and 50+ data integrations out-of-the-box. No hidden fees or extra charges for essential data routing capabilities.
Streamlined Administration
Manage via intuitive HTTP API, CLI, and Grafana-integrated dashboard. Enterprise options include audit logs, RBAC, and 24/7 support.
Edge Computing & IIoT
Leverage EMQX Edge and Neuron to collect and process industrial data (Modbus, OPC UA) locally, bridging the OT/IT gap seamlessly with centralized cloud brokers.
