Azure Marketplace Pricing API & Plan Export

Compare Azure Marketplace pricing plans and export offers to JSON or CSV. This Actor turns Microsoft's public Marketplace catalog into procurement-ready plan rows for plan comparison, vendor shortlisting, MACC analysis, and competitor research—without a Microsoft login, API key, browser, or proxy.

Looking for an Azure Marketplace pricing API? This Actor exports plan-level pricing types and commercial metadata (PAYG, free trial, BYOL, reserved instance, MACC, and stop-sell status). It does not claim to provide negotiated or private numeric prices; confirm final commercial terms with Microsoft or the publisher.

Real output: compare plans before procurement

A verified cloud run returned 10 MACC-eligible SaaS plans across 7 offers; 9 of 10 were PAYG. Representative rows:

Publisher	Offer / plan	Pricing type	MACC	Procurement or competitor-analysis use
Imperva	Data Security — upfront with overage	PAYG	Yes	Compare billing variants within one vendor offer
Imperva	Data Security — annual billing	PAYG	Yes	Identify alternate commercial plans and SKU IDs
Degreed	Enterprise LXP	PAYG	Yes	Add an eligible vendor/plan to a sourcing shortlist
Stackblitz	Enterprise	PAYG	Yes	Benchmark competing AI development offers
Fini AI	Growth / Enterprise	PAYG / Free	Yes	Compare plan mix and monitor catalog changes

What the offer export includes

Generic Azure Marketplace scrapers usually emit one listing row. This Azure Marketplace plan comparison API defaults to one row per commercial plan and exposes procurement signals otherwise buried in nested catalog JSON:

• Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment benefit (isMacc)
• plan pricing types (Payg, FreeTrial, Byol, Ri, etc.)
• free/trial/PAYG/BYOL/stop-sell state
• plan/SKU IDs and purchase-duration discounts
• publisher, categories, rating, rating count, and source modification time
• keyset pagination and reproducible source URLs

Use the export to compare a publisher's plans, shortlist MACC-eligible products, inspect PAYG/BYOL/trial positioning, track offer changes, or benchmark competitors' Marketplace packaging.
