Estimating costs with Blob storage (GRS)
Dear Community,
I brought a comparison of storage accounts with almost identical configuration (only Access Tier is different) from Azure Pricing Calculator (see below) that makes me think. The variant with GRS costs 20$.
I have not found any references in the documentation that explain the behavior.
Is the calculation correct? Can anyone give me a hint for the price difference?
Kind regards,
Tom
TomWiessner you were right but I guess they are charging for support included which is why it is showing 20 $ if you change to other support like developer, standard and professional direct the value changes. it is cost of basic support that is included for all products it mostly applicable for hot storage

0 GB of capacity
0 write operation and 0 read operations and 0 create operations and 0 GB of geo replication what why both are showing the same keep adding data on pricing calculator you will see the difference

thank you for your time to solve my problem, i am appreciate.
My problem is that I would have expected a $0 cost in both configurations. However, due to the difference in geo-redundancy, there is a $20 cost. This may be ok, I just don't understand why.
Is there a technical reason for this or is it a default value in Pricing Calculator? Do you see what I mean?
TomTomWiessner it takes default of 1000GB for Geo-replication data transfer and adds 20$ change the value to 0 GB you should be good . (Azure pricing calculator) refer the screenshot
