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.

Video Indexer
Video Indexer allows you to extract, review, curate, customize, search, and publish insights in a single job from your audio and video files using AI, powered by Azure Media Services. See the full list of Video Indexer features
Video Indexer can be used with two types of accounts:
Free trial account: up to 10 hours of free indexing for website users, and up to 40 hours of free indexing for API users.
Paid unlimited account: for larger scale indexing, create a new Video Indexer account connected to a paid Microsoft Azure subscription.
Pricing is based on the duration of the input file. Indexing is charged for audio analysis, video analysis, or both.
Audio analysis is available in three bundles of features at different price points. The standard Audio Indexer preset provides a richer set of metadata using a predefined set of AI-based audio analysis models, including speech transcription, speaker indexing, speech sentiment analysis, and keywords and formatted output captions or subtitles. The Basic Audio Indexer preset provides a low-cost option to extract only speech transcription, and format output captions and subtitles. The Basic Audio Indexer will produce two separate meters on your bill, including a line for transcription and a separate line for caption and subtitle formatting. Finally we have the Advanced preset which provides all AI-based analysis models Video Indexer has to offer.
Video analysis is available in two bundles of features at different price points. The Standard Video Indexer preset offers a rich set of AI-based video analysis models while the Advanced Video Indexer preset offers all AI-based analysis models Video Indexer has to offer. It also samples the video more frequently for better quality and includes advanced insights like clapperboard, digital patterns and much more.
