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 $200 credit you can spend during the first 30 days.
What happens once I use my $200 free credit or I’m at the end of 30 days?
We’ll notify you so you can decide if 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 you upgrade your account, certain amounts of popular products for computing, networking, storage, and databases are free. After 12 months, any of these products 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, credit or debit card, and a GitHub account or Microsoft account username (formerly Windows Live ID).
