- Amazon Cognito is a managed customer identity and access management service in AWS, offering user pools for registration, authentication and user management plus free identity pools for credential exchange. It is billed per monthly active user across three tiers (Lite, Essentials, Plus) with add-ons for multi-Region replication, higher API RPS quotas and machine-to-machine token requests. It suits engineering teams already on AWS building consumer-scale sign-in, particularly social or direct password sign-in.
