Plans, trial, billing, and limits
Current support-level guidance for CostRadar plans, trial access, monthly billing, and subscription or viewer limits.
CostRadar offers Starter, Growth, and Business plans. Plans are designed around the number of Azure subscriptions, monthly Azure spend under monitoring, and viewer seats your team needs.
Trial access
New customers receive a free trial without a credit card. Trial accounts can evaluate the product before choosing a paid plan. Some detection features work best after CostRadar has enough Azure billing history to build a baseline.
At the end of the trial, choose a paid plan to continue using paid features. If you choose a lower plan than your trial access, features outside that plan may be disabled.
Monthly plans
- Starter: one Azure subscription, up to $5k monthly Azure spend under monitoring, and one viewer seat.
- Growth: up to three Azure subscriptions, up to $15k monthly Azure spend under monitoring, and three viewer seats.
- Business: up to ten Azure subscriptions, up to $30k monthly Azure spend under monitoring, and ten viewer seats.
Plan limits are product limits, not Azure enforcement limits. CostRadar does not cap your Azure bill.
Billing interval
New CostRadar subscriptions are billed monthly. Annual billing is not offered for new self-service subscriptions.
What happens when limits are exceeded
If your connected subscriptions, viewer seats, or monitored spend exceed your plan limits, CostRadar may ask you to upgrade before adding more. Existing account behavior can depend on your current billing state, so contact support when you need a limit reviewed.
Billing questions that need support
Plan changes, failed payments, refund eligibility, invoice questions, and unusual subscription states should be escalated to human support because they depend on account-specific billing records.
