Hello,

Could you please share the official pricing calculator or more detailed pricing documentation for Azure AD Domain Services (AADDS)?

We reviewed the following page: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/pricing/microsoft-entra-ds

However, this page does not function as a pricing calculator, and the information provided there does not allow us to accurately estimate the monthly cost for running AADDS (Standard SKU) in our tenant.

Please provide either:

A link to an official pricing calculator (if available), or

Clear guidance on how to calculate or estimate monthly costs for AADDS (Standard SKU)

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

    Hi,

    You can use Azure pricing calculator. In products search for Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD). Once you add the product you will see option to expand Microsoft Entra Domain Services. There you can select the SKU:

    enter image description here

    Note that the pricing is per replica set. If you have for example two replica sets the price will be double. Also keep in mind that you need to add public IP and load balancer resources as those are part of the setup as well.

    Please "Accept the answer" if the information helped you. This will help us and others in the community as well.

    Hello Oleksii Boldyriev,

    We understand that you’re looking for guidance on estimating the monthly costs for Azure AD Domain Services (AADDS), and we know this can be a bit confusing since the pricing page you visited isn’t designed as a calculator.

    At the moment, there isn’t a dedicated pricing calculator specifically for Azure AD Domain Services. However, you can use the Azure Pricing Calculator to estimate the costs for Azure services, including AADDS.

    • You can access the Azure Pricing Calculator here: Azure Pricing Calculator.
    • Once you’re on the calculator page, use the search box to find Azure AD Domain Services. Add it to your estimate.
    • Adjust settings according to your expected usage, like the SKU and other configurations, to get a more accurate pricing estimate.
    • The estimator will provide you with an estimated cost based on your configurations. You can also adjust various parameters to see how they affect the overall price.

    Here are some helpful references that could provide more context:

    Hope this helps! If you need further assistance, please do let us know, thanks
