Azure AI Foundry review

Pricing follows the model you pick rather than a single plan. For a yardstick, the median input price from across the compared providers is €0.07 and the median output price from is €0.23, so your entry point depends on the family you choose from gpt 6 astra, gpt 6 luna and gpt 6 sol.

New accounts come with USD 200 in Azure credits, enough to run real prompts through several models before you spend. Once the credits run down, charges follow the model you pick from gpt 6 astra, gpt 6 luna and gpt 6 sol. Treat the credit as a trial budget and check which of those models it covers before you build a plan around it.

The widest model in the catalog runs at 1,050,000 tokens, which puts Azure AI Foundry in the upper band of the compared providers, where the upper end sits at 1,048,576. The limit applies per model, so check the figure for the one you pick from gpt 6 astra, gpt 6 luna and gpt 6 sol.

The list is long and enterprise-leaning: ISO 27001, ISO 27018 and SOC 1 covers ISO, SOC, FedRAMP, HITRUST, MTCS, IRAP and ENS. That mix is why regulated buyers pick this platform, because it covers general security standards and government frameworks in one place. Match any specific attestation your procurement team asks for against that list.

Support is documentation and community only: help centre and community means you rely on the help centre and the community forum. There is no direct phone or chat line in that list, so plan for self-service troubleshooting and for someone on your side to own an outage. Teams that need a live channel should weigh that before standardizing on it.

Yes. The catalog in gpt 6 astra, gpt 6 luna and gpt 6 sol includes gpt-oss-120b and gpt-oss-20b next to the hosted gpt-6-astra, gpt-5.4 and o-series entries, which suits teams settling on one vendor. If you also want Claude, Gemini or Llama in the same place, Supascale AI lists DeepSeek V4 Pro, GPT 5.6 Sol and GPT 5.6 Terra.

Azure AI Foundry goes deep on a single vendor family: gpt 6 astra, gpt 6 luna and gpt 6 sol is long on hosted OpenAI models. Supascale AI spans more provider families in DeepSeek V4 Pro, GPT 5.6 Sol and GPT 5.6 Terra, Salad is far narrower with qwen3.6 35b a3b, qwen3.6 27b and qwen3.5 9b, and Together AI adds image and video work through Inkling, MiniMax M3 and Qwen3.8 2.4T A95B.

A small team can start on USD 200 in Azure credits and still handle long documents inside a 1,050,000 token window, and the attestations help when a customer asks questions. The trade-off is help centre and community, so make sure someone on your side can troubleshoot without a vendor call.
