[This article](https://www.elastic.co/blog/hosted-elasticsearch-services-roundup-elastic-cloud-and-amazon-elasticsearch-service) compares the two offers. There also is a free 14-days [Elastic Cloud trial](https://www.elastic.co/cloud/elasticsearch-service/signup). In terms of pricing, it is probably best to get in contact with [Sales](https://www.elastic.co/contact).
