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 fall 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 upcoming month. Sign in to the Azure pricing calculator to see pricing based on your current program/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.

Consumption plan
Azure Container Apps consumption plan is billed based on per-second resource allocation and requests. The first 180,000 vCPU-seconds, 360,000 GiB-seconds, and 2 million requests each month are free. Beyond that, you pay for what you use on a per second basis based on the number of vCPU-s and GiB-s your applications are allocated.
Applications scale on-demand based on requests and events. Container Apps replicas are billed for active usage when they are running. An application can be configured to scale to zero replicas when there are no requests or events to process. No usage charges apply when an application is scaled to zero.
You can optionally configure Container Apps with a minimum number of replicas to be always running in idle mode. When an application scales down to its minimum number of replicas, usage is charged at a reduced idle rate when a replica is inactive. A replica enters active mode and is charged at the active rate when it is starting up, when it is processing requests, or when its vCPU or bandwidth usage are above the active billing thresholds1.
For Container Apps jobs, resources consumed by each execution are billed at the active rate from its start to completion. No usage charges apply when a job is not running executions.
Resource consumption
1 A replica is active when vCPU usage is above 0.01 cores or when data received is above 1,000 bytes per second.
| Meter | Active Usage Price | Idle Usage Price | Free Grant (Per Month) |
|---|---|---|---|
| vCPU (seconds) | $- per second | $- per second | 180,000 vCPU-seconds |
| Memory (GiB-Seconds) | $- per second | $- per second | 360,000 GiB-seconds |
Requests
Container Apps are billed based on the total number of requests 2 processed each month. The first two million requests are included free each month.
| Meter | Price | Free Grant (Per Month) |
|---|---|---|
| Requests | $- per million | 2 Million |
2 A request is a single HTTP request received by an app. For TCP enabled apps, a request is a single TCP connection. Request charges do not apply to jobs.
Dedicated plan
Azure Container Apps Dedicated plan provides a single tenancy guarantee, access to specialized hardware, and more predictable pricing. Billing for the Dedicated plan is based on the number of vCPU seconds and gibibyte (GiB) seconds allocated across instances. In addition, you are billed a base price for the Dedicated plan management.
When creating apps in the Dedicated plan you can choose from several workload profiles, each with different amounts of vCPUs and GiBs of memory. You will be billed for the total number of vCPUs and memory provisioned in this workload profile, per second that each instance is running. More than one app can run in a single workload profile depending on how many resources each app requires and the resources available in the workload profile. These workload profiles can automatically scale out to multiple instances as needed. To learn more, see Azure Container Apps Dedicated plan pricing details.
| Meter | Price |
|---|---|
| Dedicated plan management (hour) | $- per hour |
| vCPU (hour) | $- per hour |
| Memory (GiB-hour) | $- per hour |

Frequently asked questions
-
Yes. You can scale to zero and only pay for when your app is active in response to events and/or requests. You can also optionally choose to keep a minimum capacity always running in idle mode to optimize response times based on your needs. This capacity is charged at a reduced rate when you are not processing any requests.

-
Active usage occurs while your container is starting or while there is at least one request being processed by the application. By default, applications scale to zero. You can also configure Container Apps with a minimum number of instances so they’re always running in idle mode. Idle usage is charged at a reduced rate when the application isn’t processing any requests.
