Prices are estimates only and are not intended as actual price quotes. Actual pricing may vary depending on the type of agreement entered with Microsoft, date of purchase, and the currency exchange rate. Prices are calculated based on US dollars and converted using London closing spot rates that are captured in the two business days prior to the last business day of the previous month end. If the two business days prior to the end of the month autumn on a bank holiday in major markets, the rate setting day is generally the day immediately preceding the two business days. This rate applies to all transactions during the forthcoming month. Sign in to the Azure pricing calculator to see pricing based on your current programme/offer with Microsoft. Contact an Azure sales specialist for more information on pricing or to request a price quote. See frequently asked questions about Azure pricing.

  • Pricing will vary by Azure Sphere MCU. For the first Azure Sphere MCU, the MediaTek MT3620AN, the price will be less than $8.95. This onetime price covers the physical MCU chip, licenses for the chip, the Azure Sphere OS, and the Azure Sphere Security Service, with updates and support through July 2031 as listed in the pricing table on this page. As we add new certified MCUs to our line up, you can expect pricing to vary based on their capabilities and manufacturer requirements.
  • When you purchase the Azure Sphere solution from a distributor, you receive the following:
    • An Azure Sphere certified MCU
    • A license and device access to the Azure Sphere Security Service
    • An Azure Sphere OS license, which includes ongoing Azure Sphere OS updates

    These components will be packaged and sold together by our distributors for one low price. Contact us to order Azure Sphere from a distributor.

  • No. There is no on-going subscription fee or consumption fees associated with your Azure Sphere purchase or the Azure Sphere Security Service. There is never an additional cost for Azure Sphere beyond the initial, one-time purchase price. However, if you build an application for Azure Sphere that consumes other Azure services, normal Azure consumption charges for those services apply.
  • No. The Azure Sphere Security Service is engineered to let device manufacturers integrate with the tools and services they already use. While the Azure Sphere Security Service runs in Azure, our customers have the choice to connect to any proprietary or public cloud for app data, and a choice in which development tools they use. Leveraging Visual Studio and Azure IoT services, however, allows organisations to develop applications for Azure Sphere more efficiently.
  • Yes. Proper licensing of Visual Studio is required to use the Visual Studio Tools for Azure Sphere. Visual Studio has a number of licensing options, including a generous, free community licence.
