Estimates based on Azure East US · pay-as-you-go · May 2026. The numbers above reflect a typical mid-range configuration in each tier — actual monthly cost slides within the published range (Base $25–$75, Standard $150–$200, Pro $300+) based on data volume, pipeline frequency, egress, and whether some infra is hosted on your own Azure subscription. Base scales down to ~$25/mo when you bring your own Azure account and we just monitor + maintain. The DDL fee covers monitoring, incident response, SAS provisioning, and Azure support coordination.
