Get started with an Azure free account

Start free. Get a USD$200 credit to use within 30 days. While you have your credit, get free amounts of many of our most popular services, plus free amounts of 55+ other services that are always free.

After your credit, move to pay as you go to keep building with the same free services. Pay only if you use more than your free monthly amounts.

After 12 months, you'll keep getting 55+ always-free services—and still pay only for what you use beyond your free monthly amounts.
