Hi @Shivansh

Welcome to the Quick Suite community!

Please refer to the official Quick Suite pricing documentation for detailed information on index pricing. You can find this under the Quick Index charges section at the following link.

I have the dataset that I will be adding to the spaces, the above document only talks about the CSV, image, video files. It does not talk about the dataset.

Hello @Shivansh,

Amazon Quick Suite uses an index to store, prepare, and sync files you upload to your Quick Suite spaces. This indexed data is used to generate AI-driven responses during chat conversations.

50 MB of Quick Index storage is included free with your account (approximately 5,000 documents) and Quick Index Storage: $1/MB/month (after the free 50 MB)

Dataset Storage in Quick Suite

For structured datasets that you add to spaces, there are two main storage components:

1. SPICE Storage (For BI Dashboards)

  • SPICE (Super-fast, Parallel, In-memory Calculation Engine) is used for structured data in dashboards and analytics

  • Public Pricing: $0.38/GB/month

  • 10 GB included free per Enterprise user

  • Used when you create datasets for Quick Sight dashboards and analyses

2. Quick Index Storage (For AI Chat/Search)

  • When datasets are added to spaces for AI agents to use, they may also consume Quick Index storage

  • Public Pricing: $1/MB/month (after free 50 MB)

  • As mentioned above the 50 MB free tier covers approximately 5,000 documents but applies to all content in spaces

Dataset vs. Document Storage:

  • Structured datasets (like CSV files, database connections) primarily use SPICE storage when used for BI/analytics

  • Unstructured content (documents, PDFs) uses Quick Index storage

  • Datasets in spaces for AI chat may use both, depending on how they’re processed

  • No separate “dataset pricing” - it depends on how the dataset is used (BI vs. AI chat)

  • Spaces can contain up to 20 QuickSight resources including datasets and topics

  • Dataset processing for AI agents may involve extracting text content that counts toward Quick Index limits

Hope this helps a bit to understand.

Cheers,

Deep

Hi @Shivansh,

Following up here as it’s been a while since last communication took place on this thread; did you have any additional questions regarding your initial post?

If we do not hear back within the next 3 business days, I’ll close out this topic.

Thank you
