CloudMonitor pricing

Next to nothing. CloudMonitor's platform runs entirely in our Microsoft Fabric tenancy — no Fabric capacity for you to license, no Hubs deployment, no compute or managed app in your tenant. The only Azure resource you create is one storage account that receives your scheduled cost exports; CloudMonitor uses scoped access to process that cost data in a dedicated customer environment within our Fabric tenancy. The annual license covers the Fabric capacity we run for you, and your team just gets a hosted SaaS URL and a Fabric app.

Fixed annual license tied to your Azure Consumption Revenue (ACR), not per seat and never a share of what you save. The band-ceiling rate ranges from about 0.8% to 1.6% of ACR. A bigger Azure estate needs a bigger Microsoft Fabric capacity behind it, takes more support, and includes more of the platform. Published prices run from $500 up to $60K ACR through to $48,000 up to $3M, with three bands in each service level. Use the slider to see yours. Your price is fixed for each purchased Microsoft Marketplace term and never floats with your monthly Azure bill. If measured ACR exceeds your purchased band, CloudMonitor alerts our team for manual review. We contact you if a subscription-scope or plan change is appropriate; nothing changes automatically. See the question on Azure spend changing during the year. Organizations with ACR over $3M and up to $50M request a Microsoft Marketplace private offer. See the pricing page for the live price slider and full inclusions.

There is no universal break-even point. It depends on your estate size, optimization stage, infrastructure mix, and the work your team still handles manually. Use the savings calculator to compare its conservative range with the license fee shown for your annual Azure consumption band. Treat that result as an estimate until eligibility and usage are measured from your billing data.

Plans map directly to your annual Azure consumption (ACR). Use the price slider to enter your ACR: it selects the smallest published band that covers your footprint, from $500 up to $60K ACR through to $48,000 up to $3M. Service levels sit on top of those bands — Starter up to $200K ACR, Professional up to $800K, Enterprise up to $3M. Organizations with ACR over $3M and up to $50M request a Microsoft Marketplace private offer. Fixed annual price that does not move with your monthly Azure bill.

All prices are in USD and the ACR brackets are measured in USD. If your Azure invoices are in another currency, we convert your consumption to USD to work out which plan you fall into.

Yes — buy CloudMonitor through Microsoft Marketplace. The public SaaS offer covers the published ACR price bands. Organizations managing over $3M and up to $50M in annual Azure spend request a Microsoft Marketplace private offer. The license is eligible for MACC drawdown where applicable.

Through the Azure Marketplace against your existing EA / MCA agreement, so the license appears on your normal Azure invoice rather than a separate vendor bill. Starter and the first Professional band are annual-only. Monthly billing starts with the $6,000 annual Professional plan at $600 a month and is available on every higher published band. Where monthly billing is available, ten monthly payments equal the annual price. See the pricing page for the bands, and the MACC question below for how the cost can decrement your Azure consumption commitment.

Yes. CloudMonitor is a transactable, co-sell-ready Azure Marketplace offer, so customers with a MACC can put the CloudMonitor license against that commitment. The cost decrements your MACC instead of coming out of a separate software budget — and it helps you draw down toward your commitment target faster, which is particularly useful in the back half of a commitment year when a shortfall would otherwise lead to a true-up charge. See Microsoft's MACC enrollment overview for the eligibility rules.

Yes — upgrade or downgrade at any time, and annual contracts get prorated on upgrade. If measured ACR exceeds your purchased band, CloudMonitor alerts our team and we review it manually. We contact you if a subscription-scope or plan change is appropriate. Every plan change is handled manually and needs your approval before it takes effect.

Your price is fixed for each purchased Microsoft Marketplace term and never floats with your monthly Azure bill. Your purchased plan has an ACR ceiling, and we measure ACR from the billing scopes you connect rather than asking you to estimate it.

CloudMonitor checks measured ACR against the ceiling of your purchased band. If it goes over, CloudMonitor alerts our team. A person reviews the connected billing data and checks whether a subscription-scope or plan change is appropriate.

We contact you before taking any action, and every change is handled manually. Nothing changes or is charged automatically. Direct Microsoft Marketplace plan changes require your explicit approval; if you bought through a CSP or MSP partner, plan changes go through that partner.

Partner pricing is quote-based and tied to the Azure consumption covered by each customer license, not to seat count. We agree the wholesale price and billing route before the first deal. You set the price of your packaged service, subject to the Marketplace or reseller terms for that transaction.

Registered nonprofits and NGOs can request 50% off CloudMonitor's published plans. CloudMonitor pricing is separate from Microsoft's Azure Sponsorship grant; Microsoft controls grant eligibility and the remaining credit. Review the program and ask us to confirm pricing.

CloudMonitor charges a fixed annual license tied to your Azure consumption bracket — a figure you know before you buy, not a per-seat fee and not a share of your savings. See the side-by-side comparison against other Azure cost tools for how that lines up against Azure Cost Management, Apptio Cloudability, CloudZero, Turbo360, and the Microsoft FinOps Toolkit. For not-for-profit pricing, see the NFP discount program.

Yes — the CFO view of CloudMonitor walks through the finance-team workflows: chargeback, accruals, unit economics, and the executive dashboard.

Yes — your ACR is the combined ACAT across every billing profile CloudMonitor will cover. Add the ACAT for each billing profile in scope; that total is the Azure Consumption Revenue (ACR) used to select your price band. You only need an estimate to get started — once your cost exports are connected we measure it directly, so you do not have to get the number exactly right up front.

Very little. CloudMonitor's cost exports are small files and Azure Data Lake storage is inexpensive, but they accumulate over time. You can cap the cost by applying an Azure Blob Storage lifecycle-management policy that automatically deletes exports older than a retention window you choose — keeping enough history for the trends you rely on. It's the only Azure resource you create for CloudMonitor.

Yes — CloudMonitor is a Microsoft Solutions Partner with certified software for Azure. The designation confirms the platform has been technically reviewed for interoperability with Microsoft Azure and validated against Microsoft Marketplace customer-success criteria. Procurement teams can reference the Microsoft Learn overview of the designation and the Information Trust Center for CloudMonitor's ISO certifications, ISO/IEC 42001 verification, FinOps Specialty Solution, and Microsoft Solutions Partner status.

MACC treatment depends on the sales route and the specific CloudMonitor offer. Microsoft excludes CSP private offers from Azure commitment credit. A resale-enabled private offer or multiparty private offer can count when the purchased offer is Azure benefit eligible and enrolled in MACC. We confirm the transaction route and who bills the customer before quoting. See Microsoft's channel sales overview and MACC enrollment rules.
