Learn about Azure Quantum pricing
Azure Quantum provides access to a range of solutions from Microsoft and partners. Pricing is determined by individual partners.
Get started with an Azure free account
1
Start free. Get $200 credit to use within 30 days. While you have your credit, get free amounts of many of our most popular services, plus free amounts of 55+ other services that are always free.
2
After your credit, move to pay as you go to keep building with the same free services. Pay only if you use more than your free monthly amounts.
3
After 12 months, you'll keep getting 55+ always-free services—and still pay only for what you use beyond your free monthly amounts.
Apply for Azure Quantum credit
On top of the free $500 Azure credit per hardware provider, Microsoft now offers up to $10,000 in credit applicable toward Azure Quantum computing hardware for the purpose of exploring new algorithms, investigating use cases, and integrating your business workflows with Azure Quantum.

Quantum computing harnesses quantum mechanics to enable computation. Optimization is a class of computing problems that are primary candidates for running on quantum computers in the future, providing a quantum advantage over classical solutions. We can already accelerate optimization problems using Azure Quantum solvers that run on classical hardware in Azure today faster than many other classical optimization techniques. Learn more.
