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.

Workloads

Azure Databricks offers three distinct workloads on several VM Instances tailored for your data analytics workflow—the Jobs Compute and Jobs Light Compute workloads make it easy for data engineers to build and execute jobs, and the All-Purpose Compute workload makes it easy for data scientists to explore, visualize, manipulate, and share data and insights interactively.

Pay As You Go

Azure Databricks bills* you for virtual machines (VMs) provisioned in clusters and Databricks Units (DBUs) based on the VM instance selected. A DBU is a unit of processing capability, billed on a per-second usage. The DBU consumption depends on the size and type of instance running Azure Databricks. Feature availability may vary by region, for more information please review our documentation.

^*In addition to virtual machines, Azure Databricks will also bill for managed, disk, blob storage, Public IP Address.

^**Limited time promotional price – save 30% (offer expires January 31, 2025).

^***Enabling Photon will increase DBU count.

Databricks Unit pre-purchase plan

You can get up to 37% savings over pay-as-you-go DBU prices when you pre-purchase Azure Databricks Units (DBU) as Databricks Commit Units (DBCU) for either 1 or 3 years. A Databricks Commit Unit (DBCU) normalizes usage from Azure Databricks workloads and tiers into to a single purchase. Your DBU usage across those workloads and tiers will draw down from the Databricks Commit Units (DBCU) until they are exhausted, or the purchase term expires. The draw down rate will be equivalent to the price of the DBU, as per the table above.

The purchase tiers and discounts for DBCU purchases are shown below:
