Cost of their Service.

Due to the number of services available, the cost of Azure varies extremely depending on which parts of it a business decides to use, and how much they use it.

There are no upfront costs involved with Azure, and customers only pay for what they use, with many services charged by the hour.

For example, Azure App Service, which allows users to create powerful cloud-based apps for web and mobile, starts from $0.013 per hour. Using Azure’s managed relational SQL database as a service costs $0.021 per hour. Both, like many of Azure’s services are free for the first 12 months
