API Management pricing
- No upfront cost
- No termination fees
- Pay only for what you use
Azure API Management allows organisations to publish APIs hosted on Azure, on-premises and in other clouds more securely, reliably and at scale. Use API Management to drive API consumption among internal teams, partners and developers while benefiting from business and log analytics available in the admin portal. This service helps provide the tools your organisation needs for end-to-end API management—everything from provisioning user roles, creating usage plans and quotas, applying policies for transforming payloads, throttling, analytics, monitoring and alerts.

Self-hosted gateway
The self-hosted gateway feature expands API Management support for hybrid and multi-cloud environments. It allows customers to manage all their APIs via a single API management solution without compromising security, compliance or performance. With the self-hosted gateway feature, organisations can deploy a containerised version of the API Management gateway component to the same environments where they host their APIs while continuing to manage them from an associated API Management service in Azure.

FAQ
-
The Developer tier does not offer an SLA. Therefore, it is not suitable for production use. The Developer tier should be used for evaluations, development and test.
-
Yes. The new self-hosted gateway feature enables on-premises as well as multi-cloud deployments. The feature is available for production use in the Premium tier and evaluation purposes in the Developer tier. Please see the product page as well as the pricing section above for more details.
-
Customers can scale API Management by adding and removing units. Each unit has certain request processing capacity that depends on the service’s tier. For example, a unit of the Standard tier has an estimated maximum throughput of approximately 2,500 requests per second. As you add or remove units, capacity scales proportionately. For example, two units of the Standard tier provide an estimated throughput of approximately 5,000 requests per second.
-
All nodes within the gateway deployment share the location properties and configuration, for example, the custom domain name(s) and assigned APIs. Each gateway deployment corresponds to a gateway resource that can be created either via the Azure portal on the Gateways blade inside an API Management service or programmatically via management API.
-
The purpose of the Isolated tier is to enable use of all the features of API Management Premium tier in highly-regulated industries where compute environment isolation is a requirement.
