Azure Function Pricing
The Azure Functions Pricing model is basically based on three plans as below. You can choose the plan for the Azure functions costs based on your requirement
- Consumption plan
- Premium plan
- App Service plan
Consumption plan:
As per the Consumption plan, Azure provides you with all the computing resources that are needed for the activity. You need not worry about the compute resources. You just need to pay for the time your code is running. Azure functions are billed based on the resource consumption that is measured by GB seconds.
Functions that are running on a Consumption Plan have a timeout of five minutes by default.
How this will be calculated exactly is they will multiply the average memory size in GB by the execution time that takes to execute the function in milliseconds. The memory used by the function is calculated from 128 MB to the max 1,536 MB.
The minimum execution time is 100 ms and the minimum memory for a single function execution is 128 MB. Functions pricing that includes a monthly free grant of 4,00,000 GB seconds.
Premium plan:
As per the Premium plan, Azure will provide you if any of the additional computing resources needed for the activity. You need to pay for the resources running continuously that are initially defined by you and also any additional instances you need to use as Azure scales your application in and out operations.
App Service plan:
As per the App Service plan, If you using your App Service for your other applications, your Azure functions can run on the same App Service plan at no extra cost.
It is unlimited for this plan. No default time out for this particular plan. Your Function may run for as long as it needs to.
As part of this plan, we need to provision a dedicated Virtual Machine meaning you need to pay for those resources even if you are not using them completely.
If you will go a little in-depth
| Meter | Pricing Details | FREE GRANT (PER MONTH) |
| Execution Time | You need to pay ₹0.001058/GB-s | 4,00,000 GB-s |
| Total Executions | You will have to pay ₹13.220 / million executions | 1 million executions |
As per the Premium Plan
