Azure free account
A 30-day Azure credit for testing AI, compute and cloud services.
Documentation checked 20 Oct 2026. Not personally tested.
What you get
$200 credit for 30 days.

The catch
The credit lasts 30 days, not 30 days of use. Azure places a temporary $1 authorisation on the card at signup. The spending limit only protects you until you deliberately remove it to keep using paid services, after which charges are real.
Before you claim it
- Open the provider’s official page and confirm your account and region qualify.
- Check the live allowance for the exact model or feature you intend to use.
- Review billing settings before enabling paid usage or adding a payment method.
