It's not cheap. Base price is $0.25 per hour:

$183 a month.

On the other hand, you can process a lot more data in an hour, so it's fair to charge more.

That's still a bargain compared to running your own Vertica or Greenplum cluster.

That's just the base price if you do nothing. The costs increase when you actually store and query data.

No, that's not the case. You pay for the cluster by the hour.

As far as target audience for this, $183/month is a pittance. From their product site:

"Amazon Redshift is a fast, fully managed, petabyte-scale data warehouse service that makes it simple and cost-effective to efficiently analyze all your data using your existing business intelligence tools."

That to me screams "enterprise" and "big data" and all sorts of other silly buzz words. Your average startup is probably not going to need this, but their target audience may view that $183/month base price tag favorably.
