Azure Storage Account Plans Pricing

Azure Storage charges per data service (Blob, Files, Queues, Tables, Disks) on multiple axes - capacity (per GB-month, varying by tier and redundancy), transactions (per 10,000 ops by service / tier), egress (per GB; same-region same-AZ free), and feature add-ons such as object replication, change feed, and reservations. Performance tier (Standard vs Premium) and access tier (Hot, Cool, Cold, Archive) drive both capacity and transaction rates. Reserved capacity (1-yr / 3-yr) provides up to ~38% discount on capacity for predictable workloads.
