What else do I need to know?
Do I pay anything to start with the Azure free account?

No. Starting is free, plus you get a $280 credit which you can spend during the first 30 days.

What happens once I’ve used my $280 free credit or I’m at the end of 30 days?

We’ll notify you so you can decide whether you want to upgrade to pay-as-you-go pricing and remove the spending limit. If you do, you’ll have access to all the free products. If you don’t, your account and products will be disabled, and you’ll need to upgrade to resume usage.

What happens at the end of the 12 months of free products?

For 12 months after upgrading your account, certain amounts of popular products for compute, networking, storage and databases are free. After 12 months, any of these products which you may be using will continue to run, and you’ll be billed at the standard pay-as-you-go rates.

What do I need to sign up for a free account?

All you need is a phone number, a credit card, and a GitHub account or Microsoft account username (formerly Windows Live ID).

    Why a credit card if it's free?

      To stop you signing up a million times. I thought this was a standard offer, btw.

  • 30 days free trial only

    It has always been like that.

    You also need to upgrade to a pay-as-you-go subscription to restore/retain all your configured services and data after 30 days. Otherwise your subscription is deleted.

  • I thought you can get a Azure account if you have edu email. Am I right?

    Is Azure ever cheaper than AWS or Google Cloud without an MSDN subscription?

  • Can't get the trial.

    You're not eligible for an Azure free account
    Don't worry—you can still use Azure by paying as you go, with no upfront commitments. Cancel anytime.
