Azure price list specifics
Azure plan pricing is available from the Pricing and offers page in Partner Center, under Sell.
Exports are available for Azure plan consumption services, Azure Reservations, and FX rates.
Options for export include:
Current pricing: This option includes all meters and pricing from the first of the month to the current date of the month, such as new prices, changed prices, or removed prices. All prices have effective start and end dates to explain whether they're new or removed.
Previous month's pricing: Downloads of each type of resource are by month. For pricing files, this will include all meters that were available during that month. If a new meter appeared in the middle of the month, it appears as a meter with an effective date reflecting its availability. Similar for prices that are discontinued, showing with an effective end date describing when they're no longer available.
FX Rates: FX rates are available for download the day before the first of the month, 6pm PST. For example, if you want the rates for November, download the rates on October 31. Previous month FX rates are also available.
Prices in the price lists are direct prices. Some partners may be eligible for partner earned credits. For information on how the partner earned credit are calculated, see How the partner earned credit is calculated and paid.
Eligible services: Partner earned credit is applicable to services listed in the Azure plan consumption pricing that partners can export from the Azure plan pricing page.
Note
There are exceptions including, but not limited to, third-party products identified as "Third Party" in the Tags column of the Azure plan consumption price list and Azure plan reservations.

Tiered pricing
Some Azure plan consumption services support tiered pricing. Partners can find these products and SKUs in the Azure plan price list. Items that have values in the pricing tier range columns enable partners to understand the price based on usage. In the following example using sample data, we have one product SKU with three pricing tiers.
| ProductId | SkuId | UnitPrice | PricingTierRangeMin | PricingTierRangeMax |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DDD123456ABC | 01AB | 0.50 | 100001 | 9223372036854780000 |
| DDD123456ABC | 01AB | 0.80 | 101 | 100000 |
| DDD123456ABC | 01AB | 1 | 1 | 100 |
In this example, if 101 units are used the charge would be 100.80. The first 100 units are one each and the next unit is charged at 0.80.
Pricing API for Azure plan
You can use the pricing API to retrieve Azure plan pricing for consumption and reservations programmatically. You can also retrieve foreign exchange rates.
The pricing API is on a different endpoint than the other Partner Center APIs. The pricing information includes meter pricing in USD for Azure plan resources and reservations pricing applied to Azure plan subscriptions.
This API also enables partners to retrieve monthly exchange rates because Azure plan pricing is in USD only. You can use the APIs to retrieve both pricing and foreign exchange rates for the current month or previous months.
Note
The pricing API is specific to Azure plan pricing. You should still use the existing RateCard API and price lists posted to the Partner Center's "Pricing and offers" page for Azure resources or reservations deployed to non-Azure plan subscriptions. The Azure plan pricing API doesn't support software, marketplace, or license-based pricing, such as Microsoft 365 or Dynamics 365.
For more information about Azure plan pricing and foreign exchange rate APIs, see the full pricing API documentation.
