SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Getting accurate Azure service pricing and Copilot Studio agent cost estimates normally requires manual portal lookups and spreadsheet math. This Skill queries the public Azure Retail Prices API directly and applies documented billing formulas to produce monthly and annual cost estimates. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Real-Time Azure Pricing: Queries prices.azure.com with OData filters by service name, region, SKU, and price type, covering compute, storage, databases, networking, and AI services. - Cost Estimation: Converts unit prices into monthly and annual estimates using 730-hour billing periods and service-specific formulas for VMs, Functions, Cosmos DB, SQL, and more. - Copilot Studio Credit Estimation: Calculates Copilot Credit consumption for agents based on users, interactions, knowledge sources, and tool usage, with live rate fetching from Microsoft Learn. - Use Case: A solutions architect needs to compare a Standard_D4s_v5 VM's pay-as-you-go versus 3-year reservation cost in West Europe and present a savings table to a customer. ## Quick Start Ask the agent how much a Standard_D4s_v5 virtual machine costs per month in East US including reservation and savings plan options.

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 without the pricing calculator?▼

Query the Azure Retail Prices API at prices.azure.com with an OData filter like armSkuName eq 'Standard_D4s_v5' and armRegionName eq 'eastus'. The API returns retail prices in JSON with no authentication required.

How to estimate Copilot Studio agent costs per month?▼

Multiply total sessions by the credit rate for each feature used: 1 credit per classic answer, 2 per generative answer, 10 per tenant graph grounded message, and 5 per agent action. One Copilot Credit equals $0.01 USD.

Does the Azure Retail Prices API require authentication?▼

No, the Azure Retail Prices API is public and requires no authentication or subscription. It only requires internet access to prices.azure.com and returns prices in USD by default.

Why does my Azure pricing query return empty results?▼

Empty results usually come from overly strict filters or incorrect case-sensitive serviceName values. Broaden the filter by removing priceType or armRegionName first, or filter by serviceFamily to discover valid service names.

How do I find savings plan prices in the Azure pricing API?▼

Include api-version=2023-01-01-preview in the request URL. Each returned item then contains a savingsPlan array with 1-year and 3-year unit prices alongside the standard retail price.
