Azure Logic Apps Pricing 2025 Explained: Consumption vs Standard 

What are Azure Logic Apps? 

Azure Logic Apps is a cloud-based platform that automates workflows that connect data, services, systems and applications.  

Azure Logic Apps provides two main hosting options:  

1. Consumption 
2. Standard

Azure Logic App Consumption Explained 

Azure Logic Apps consumption incurs costs based on trigger events, the number of workflow executions and the execution duration. It is a Pay-for-what-you-use pricing model. Charges are incurred for every action, each trigger, and each connected used in your workflow. 

While running in a multi-tenant environment, this plan also uses connectors to access SaaS apps and on-prem data sources.  

Consumption Logic Apps:

• Are fully hosted in Microsoft Azure (no need to host it yourself!) 
• Multi-tenant Azure hosted 
• Fully managed and supported by Microsoft (no need to scale manually) 
• Follow a serverless, pay-per-use model 

If your Logic App runs just a few times a month, you’re only charged for those executions, sometimes just fractions of a penny. But since you're in a multi-tenant environment, your Logic App might run along with other workloads. If workloads are heavy, they could impact performance.  

Azure Logic App Standard Explained 

Azure Logic Apps Standard runs workflows in a single-tenant environment, which is managed by Microsoft. The Standard Logic Apps run in what’s called an App Service Plan. Think of an App Service Plan like a virtual machine – it is semi-isolated but runs on shared hardware. In other words, your App Service Plans could still be running alongside other tenants. 

Standard Logic Apps: 

• Run on shared hardware 
• Data stays in the same region 
• Pricing is based on the hosting plan 
• Support for Vnets 

Here, data must always stay in the same region. As a result, you can’t have a single App Service Plan hosting Logic Apps across multiple regions. On a brighter note, App Service Plans support Virtual Networks (VNets). This is useful if you need tighter network control or integration with on-prem systems.

App Service Environment (ASE)

There’s also a more advanced scenario where you can opt for a more isolated environment using the App Service Environment (ASE). To do so, you must be on ASE v3.

This truly implies a single-tenant and isolated hosting which gives you full control and enhanced network security. Note that you must use a Vnet. 

Run Logic Apps in AKS

Azure Logic Apps can also run in Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) through Azure Arc-enabled Logic Apps. This allows you to deploy and run single-tenant-based logic apps anywhere that Kubernetes can run.

This means you can deploy and manage them in AKS, on-premise, or even run them on other cloud providers.

Azure Logic App Pricing Models 

Azure Logic App Consumption Plan Pricing 

With Consumption, you pay for execution, meaning it is serverless. Each time a Logic App runs, Azure meters usage for triggers, actions, and connector calls. 

Data retention: $0.12 GB/month 

As you can see in the table above, the first 4000 actions are free, which is great. Also, the price per execution is very low. The same is not true, however, for connectors. 

Azure connector costs are based on how many calls you make, with prices different from executions – with Enterprise Connectors being the most expensive. The table below breaks it down: 

Data retention: $0.12 GB/month 

Now, let’s take this into practice with some examples. Let us say you’d run a Logic App with 10,000 executions per day, each using 20 actions: 

Daily usage 

• Logic App executions: 10,000 
• Actions per execution: 20 
• Total actions per day: 10,000 × 20 = 200,000 

However, the first 4000 actions are free, resulting in 196000 (200000-4000) actions to be paid.

196,000 × $0.000025 = $4.90 per day 

Now, let’s finish by adding the connector cost. Assume the following:

• 1 Standard Connector call per run 
• 1 Enterprise Connector call per run 
• Standard Connector: 10,000 × $0.000125 = $1.25 per day 
• Enterprise Connector: 10,000 × $0.001 = $10.00 per day 

Total daily cost:  

• Actions: $4.90 
• Standard Connector: $1.25 
• Enterprise Connector: $10.00 
• Total $16.15 per day  

Estimated monthly cost (30 days): $16.15 × 30 = $484.50

Azure Logic App Standard Plan Pricing 

So, what’s the pricing on Standard? Azure Logic Apps (Standard) can be hosted using two different pricing models:  

1. Workflow Standard Plan (per vCPU/memory)  
2. App Service Premium Plan (fixed monthly rate).  

Both options support Logic Apps but differ in how you’re charged and how resources are allocated.

Workflow Standard Plan

The workflow Standard Plan is a usage-based model. You’re billed hourly based on the actual resources your Logic App uses: 

In addition to the base price: 

• There are additional charges for storage and storage transactions. 
• You still need to account for costs tied to managed connectors. 

If your workflows retain data (like inputs and outputs from run history), there's a storage cost of about $0.12 per GB per month.

This approach works well for containerised Logic Apps or cases where workloads vary, and you want billing to reflect actual consumption. It's flexible and ideal if you're scaling dynamically or deploying Logic Apps in isolated environments, such as with Azure Functions Premium or Azure Arc.

App Service Premium Plan

The App Service Premium Plan, on the other hand, uses a fixed monthly pricing model. So, you're essentially reserving dedicated resources for your Logic Apps. You pay a set amount per instance, depending on the selected tier, which varies by the number of virtual CPUs (vCPUs) and memory allocated. 

Standard edition Logic Apps can use built-in connectors, which are a subset that runs in-process. Meaning that, they execute within the Logic App runtime itself. If you're running a Logic App locally (on-prem), these built-in connectors won’t call any external services.

However, many connectors are Microsoft-managed. These always call Microsoft-hosted API connectors, regardless of whether you're running the Logic App in Azure or locally. You will still incur managed connector charges in these cases.

One significant advantage of Standard over Consumption is that you don’t need an Integration Account to use schemas, maps, or .NET assemblies. 

In Consumption, adding those capabilities requires an Integration Account, which comes at a substantial cost. In Standard, it’s included at no extra cost.

App Service Environment (ASE v3) Pricing 

The ASE v3 (App Service Environment version 3) is another hosting option. It's a more isolated, single-tenant environment. Pricing for ASEv3 ranges from $240 to over $11,000 per month (depending on configuration). 

For comparison, the retired Integration Services Environment (ISE) cost around $5,000 more per month than ASE v3. We can say that ASE v3 offers a more cost-effective isolated hosting option than ISE used to.
