Test Database using MPN Benefit

I want to create an Azure SQL database to test VB.Net code for accessing an Azure Database with my MPN benefit of $130 CND/month. But when I attempt to configure an SQL database in the Portal using what I think are the least costly parameters, the estimated cost that it calculates is over $400 CND per month.

Does this sound right? Am I missing something?

Is it even feasible to have a simple test database for less than $130 cnd/month?

    Hi @Robert Scarborough

    Please let us know if you have tried DTU model for creating the Database. If you check the pricing calculator , you get a lot of pricing options compatible with MPN discount.

    You can find the details of DTU model here.
