Azure Logic App is an integration service. It provides you the opportunity to create and run automated workflows that integrates with your application, data, services and systems etc. These workflows can be written with little to no code. While creating a logic apps, when we come across the logic apps plan, there are two choices. 

  1. Standard 
  2. Consumption based

This is an attempt to help make a decision by comparing both the plans at a high-level. Hopefully, this will be helpful and help me achieve my goal.

 

  Consumption based Standard
Pricing Plan Pay only for usage Based on a hosting plan
Hosting Infrastructure Multi-tenant/Shared Single tenant
Best suited for Entry-level, ad-hoc, for limited use Enterprise level
Number of workflows 1 Multiple
Virtual Network and Private Endpoint Support No Yes
VNET Integration  No Yes
Network Isolation No Yes

    Hi Umesh,

       This was a good listing of the comparison.  If you can elaborate on the Billing section - especially the cost for the hosting plan for the 'Standard' version of Logic Apps.  Also for the 'Consumption' version how many free built-in operations are allowed and after that what would be the cost of per-execution.  Further if you can give details of managed connector operations cost per call.  Similarly if you can give more details on the Storage operations related to Billling - it would help us calculate the cost on an apples-to-apples comparison.  Even if you could provide some links on how to get those details - that would be helpful. 

     

    Regards

    Hello Rajiv,

     

    First 4000 actions are free in Logic App Consumption plan. 

    Pricing - Logic Apps | Microsoft Azure

     

    For Logic Apps Standard plan, you pay based on the App service plan you choose. It provides you specific amount of vCPU and memory resources. 

     

    Following example shows hourly rates of vCPU and memory:

    Resource Hourly rate (example region)
    vCPU $0.192 per vCPU
    Memory $0.0137 per GB

     

    The following calculation provides an estimated monthly rate:

    <monthly-rate> = 730 hours (per month) * [(<number-vCPU> * <hourly-rate-vCPU>) + (<number-GB-memory> * <hourly-rate-GB-memory>)]

     

    Following example gives rough idea on monthly charges for each Workflow Standard plan. 

    Pricing tier Virtual CPU (vCPU) Memory (GB) Monthly rate (example region)
    WS1 1 3.5 $175.16
    WS2 2 7 $350.33
    WS3 4 14 $700.65

     

    Please let me know if you have any questions. 

     

    Thanks
