CloudAMQP: Pricing, Features & Alternatives

CloudAMQP has hosted RabbitMQ since 2012 and is the default managed broker for teams that want queues rather than a log. Little Lemur is free on a shared broker with 1M messages a month and 100 queues. Tough Tiger is $19/month for 10M messages. Dedicated single-node brokers start at $50/month (Sassy Squirrel), with clustered plans above that. It also offers LavinMQ, its own AMQP-compatible broker, and runs on AWS, GCP, Azure and DigitalOcean.
