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.

  • In the S tier, there are two types of APIs, For the Text API, the service is billed for the amount of Text Records submitted to the service. For the Image API, the service is billed for the amount of images submitted to the service.
  • A text record in the S tier contains up to 1,000 characters as measured by Unicode code points. If a text input into the Content Safety API is more than 1,000 characters, it counts as one text record for each unit of 1,000 characters. For instance, if a text input sent to the API contains 7,500 characters, it will count as 8 text records. If a text input sent to the API contains 500 characters, it will count as 1 text record.
  • Usage is stopped if the transaction limit is reached on the Free tier. Customers cannot accrue overages on the free tier.
  • As a specific example, let’s say you make the following calls in a monthly billing period:

    • 15,00,000 Analyse Text API calls
    • 5,00,000 Analyse Image API calls

    Your total bill will be constructed as follows:

    TYPE RESOURCE CALCULATIONS
    15,00,000 Analyse Text S1 $-/1,000 * 15,00,000 = $-
    5,00,000 Analyse Image S1 $-/1,000 * 5,00,000 = $-
