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.

  • With Azure Digital Twins, there is no upfront cost or termination fee. Customers only pay for what they consume. For billing in Azure Digital Twins, there are three pricing dimensions – Operations, Messages and Query Units. The consumption of Azure Digital Twins is measured in the number of Operations, Messages and Query Units consumed. The billing is generated monthly and customers are billed on the number of Operations, Messages, and Query Units consumed during the month.
  • An API call made to an Azure Digital Twins API is counted as an Operation. Operations are metered in 1 KB increments of the response body size. For example, if the body size is 0.5 KB, it will be counted as 1 operation and if the body size is 1.5 KB, it will be counted as 2 operations. The number of operations performed are counted for billing.
  • Any messages sent using the event route capability of Azure Digital Twins to a destination outside of Azure Digital Twins such as Event Grid, Event Hub, and Service Bus are counted for billing. Messages are metered in 1 KB increments of the message payload size. For example, if the message payload size is 0.5 KB, it will be counted as 1 message and if the payload size is 1.5 KB, it will be counted as 2 messages. The number of messages sent are counted for billing.
  • Query units are the currency for query execution in Azure Digital Twins. Each query execution in Azure Digital Twins consumes CPU, memory and IOPs resources. These resources incur charges which are expressed in Query Units (QUs). Look for "query-charge" in the Query API response to track the number of QUs consumed by the query. To learn more, please visit Query Units in Azure Digital Twins page.
  • Customers can execute queries on the twin graph for information using the Azure Digital Twins Query API. A query to execute can be sent in the request body of the Query API. The number of operations performed to call the Query API and the number of query units consumed to execute the query are counted for billing. For example, a query that consumes 2.45 QUs to execute and results in a response body of 2.3 KB, will result in a 2.45 QU charge and 3 Operations charge for billing.
  • No. You will only get billed for the number of Operations, Messages, and Query Units consumed during the billing period.
