Logic Apps pricing, simply

What you pay on Consumption, Standard WS1–WS3, ASE v3, Hybrid, and the preview Automation option, using Sweden Central list prices.

On this page

Logic Apps does not have one price. The hosting option picks the meter. Connectors, runtime storage and integration accounts can add more.

This note uses Sweden Central pay-as-you-go USD list prices from the Azure Retail Prices API on 10 September 2026. Monthly figures use 730 hours, the same convention as Microsoft’s Standard examples. Enterprise Agreement discounts, reservations and extra resources such as Application Insights are not included. Pricing model, Pricing page.

The lab Standard app logic-plb-app-test-swc-001 is WS1. That plan bills while the app exists, even with no workflows. See Logic Apps, simply for hosting choices and the private storage path for why this lab is not Consumption.

What you are choosing

Portal option You pay for Idle cost
Consumption Each trigger and action $0
Standard · Workflow Service Plan Reserved vCPU and memory (WS1, WS2 or WS3) The SKU, even when idle
Standard · App Service Environment v3 Isolated v2 Windows plan instances Those instances
Standard · Hybrid Logic Apps vCPU time plus Kubernetes and SQL you run Your infra; Azure still bills vCPU while the app is enabled
Automation Project (preview) Environment hours plus execution Preview meters; confirm before adopting

ISE (Integration Service Environment) is retired. It is not a current option for private networking.

Sweden Central list prices

Built-in Consumption actions: first 4,000 per subscription per month are free, then $0.000025 each.

Meter Price
Consumption Standard connector $0.000163 per call
Consumption Enterprise connector $0.0013 per call
Consumption data retention $0.12 per GB-month
Standard vCPU $0.1972 per hour
Standard memory $0.0141 per GiB-hour
Hybrid vCPU $0.234 per hour
Integration Account Basic $300 per month
Integration Account Standard or Premium $1,000 per month

Standard WS monthly estimate for one instance:

SKU Capacity Estimate
WS1 1 vCPU, 3.5 GB $180
WS2 2 vCPU, 7 GB $360
WS3 4 vCPU, 14 GB $720

Formula: 730 × [(vCPU × $0.1972) + (GB × $0.0141)]. Scale-out repeats that charge. Zone redundancy needs more instances, so the floor rises.

ASE v3 has no stamp fee. You pay Isolated v2 Windows instances. Logic Apps on ASE is Windows only.

SKU Capacity Hourly ~730 hours
I1v2 2 vCPU, 8 GB $0.57 $416
I2v2 4 vCPU, 16 GB $1.14 $832
I3v2 8 vCPU, 32 GB $2.28 $1,664

Hybrid in Sweden Central is $0.234 per vCPU-hour. East US is $0.18. Charge = allocated vCPUs × replicas × hourly rate. You still run the cluster and SQL.

When Consumption is cheaper

Consumption wins when volume stays modest and you do not need VNet integration.

Workload in one month Consumption One WS1
2,000 built-in actions $0 (inside the free grant) ~$180
200,000 built-in actions $4.90 ~$180
10 million built-in actions ~$250 ~$180 if they fit on WS1

About 7.2 million built-in actions in a month is where Consumption’s action bill matches one idle WS1, before storage or connectors.

Polling triggers on Consumption can bill even when they skip. Skipped or failed executions still count. Loops bill the loop and each inner action, each cycle.

This lab needs private runtime storage. Consumption cannot do that path. Standard is the hosting choice here, not a cost optimisation.

When Standard is cheaper

Standard includes unlimited free built-in operations. Managed connector calls still use the same Standard and Enterprise prices as Consumption.

Standard becomes cheaper when you replace high-volume managed connectors with built-in ones (Service Bus, Blob, SQL and similar) that run in the app process.

If Standard uses built-in instead of managed Standard connectors Rough break-even vs one WS1
Standard connector calls About 1.1 million calls / month
Enterprise connector calls About 180,000 calls / month

If you keep managed connectors on Standard, you pay WS1 plus those connector calls. Consumption would pay only the connector calls. Hosting is then extra, paid for VNet, local built-in throughput, multiple workflows in one app, or stateful/stateless options.

ASE is for isolation and packing many apps into one environment. It is not a cheaper WS1. Hybrid is for running on your infrastructure, not for shaving the WS1 floor.

Extra bills next to the plan

These sit on the invoice whether you picked Consumption or Standard:

  • Managed connectors — per call, rates above.
  • Runtime storage on Standard — your storage account, billed as Storage. This lab’s private endpoints do not add a Logic Apps meter; they add Private Link and DNS.
  • Integration account — $0 Free (one per region, no SLA), $300 Basic, $1,000 Standard or Premium. Standard can use XML and Liquid maps without one.
  • Application Insights — optional, usage-based.

A disabled logic app does not start new runs. In-progress runs can finish and still bill. Delete leftover integration accounts and storage yourself.

What this lab is paying

logic-plb-app-test-swc-001 on WS1 in Sweden Central: about $180 per month for the plan, plus storage for the runtime account, plus any managed connector calls later. No workflows yet does not pause the plan.

Switching that app to Consumption would drop the hosting floor to $0 and break the private storage path.
