SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Getting accurate, up-to-date Azure pricing requires navigating the pricing calculator or documentation manually. This Skill retrieves real-time retail prices directly from the public Azure Retail Prices API and turns them into monthly and annual cost estimates, including Copilot Studio credit consumption for agents. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Real-time price lookup: Query the Azure Retail Prices API (no authentication required) with OData filters by service name, region, SKU, and price type, including savings plan data. - Cost estimation: Convert unit prices into monthly and annual estimates using documented formulas for VMs, Functions, Storage, Cosmos DB, SQL Database, AKS, and Azure OpenAI. - Copilot Studio estimation: Calculate Copilot Credit consumption for agents based on users, interactions, knowledge sources, and tool usage, with cached rate tables as a fallback. - Use Case: Ask "How much does a Standard_D4s_v5 VM cost in East US per month?" and receive a table with the unit price, a 730-hour monthly estimate, and savings plan comparisons. ## Quick Start Ask how much a specific Azure service SKU costs in a given region and request a monthly cost estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions about azure-pricing

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get Azure VM pricing programmatically?▼

Query the Azure Retail Prices API at prices.azure.com/api/retail/prices with an OData filter like armSkuName eq 'Standard_D4s_v5' and armRegionName eq 'eastus'. No authentication is required, only HTTPS access.

How to estimate monthly Azure costs from hourly prices?▼

Multiply the hourly unit price by 730, the standard Azure billing hours per month. For business-hours-only VMs, use 176 hours (8 hours per day, 22 days per month) instead.

Does the Azure Retail Prices API require authentication?▼

No, the Azure Retail Prices API is public and requires no authentication. It only needs outbound HTTPS access to prices.azure.com, with api-version 2023-01-01-preview recommended to include savings plan data.

Why does my Azure pricing query return empty results?▼

Empty results usually come from incorrect serviceName capitalization, since the field is case-sensitive, or overly restrictive filters. Broaden the query by removing priceType or armRegionName, or filter by serviceFamily first to discover valid service names.

How are Copilot Studio agent costs calculated?▼

Copilot Studio bills in Copilot Credits at $0.01 per credit. Estimate total sessions from users times monthly interactions, then apply per-feature rates for generative answers, tenant graph grounding, agent actions, flows, and prompt tools.
