Matched on vCPU and memory, then CPU vendor, then rate; a larger size is offered only when nothing is the same size. On-demand Linux only: Spot and commitments work differently on the two clouds, so they aren't compared here.

Savings Plans: what to know

A Savings Plan commits you to a dollar amount per hour of spend for one or three years, not to an instance: usage up to that amount is billed at the plan's rates and the rest at on-demand, and unused commitment is still billed.
A Compute Savings Plan follows your usage across instance families, sizes, regions and operating systems; an EC2 Instance Savings Plan is locked to one family in one region in exchange for a lower rate (what that flexibility costs).
In Asia Pacific (Mumbai) (ap-south-1), the 3-year Compute Savings Plan rate (No Upfront) for t3a.2xlarge on Linux is 49% of the on-demand rate, so the instance has to run at least 49% of the hours for the commitment to cost less than on-demand.
On Windows a plan discounts only the compute part of the rate: the Windows license part costs the same as on demand, so the percentage off is smaller than on Linux.
Rates are AWS's effective hourly rate for each payment option; All Upfront pays the whole term's commitment at purchase, which is why its hourly rate is lower; Partial Upfront (at least half up front) isn't shown on this page. The Savings Plans calculator has all three and sizes a commitment for this instance or a mix of them. How AWS applies a plan each hour: how Compute Savings Plans decide what they cover.
