I understand Azure Static Web Apps are in preview and free at the moment (which is great!). Is there any indications around what the pricing will be based on when it comes out of preview? Will it be more aligned to Azure Storage (like AWS S3 bucket static site hosting)? Or more like Azure App Service - i.e. dedicated PaaS instance but slightly cheaper? Some indications will be useful around the basis of pricing, as they will represent interesting trade-offs for customer.
Azure App Service is a service used to create and deploy scalable, mission-critical web apps.
Hi @Sayan Ghosh ,
Glad to hear your positive feedback with static web apps offering. I doubt there are any indications around pricing, but I will follow up with the product group for any information.

Hi,
Currenly Static Web Apps is free during preview. Pricing for this service will be announced at a later date. You will be notified 30 days before billing begins.
You keep an eye on this page -- https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/pricing/details/app-service/static/
Are there any comparable AWS services that would provide an indicator?

Bizarrely, Static Web apps still have no pricing information of any sort. I contacted Azure Sales today to try to get a price, and they could not give me any - they said prices did not currently exist for Azure Static Web Apps and they could not give me an ETA. We can only assume they are still in beta. No point in testing them out until we know the cost.
Hi @Sayan Ghosh ,
Wanted to provide the following update. Currently there is no pricing updates to share at this time and it will be at least a few months before any sort of announcements. As for the offering, it will be in lined more with App Services than AWS S3.
Regards,
Ryan

@Ryan Hill , You mentioned "at least a few months" before any sort of announcements. Does that mean Static Web Apps will stay in preview with the existing quotas for the next few months? Any idea when Static Web Apps will move out of preview to GA with production level quotas?
@AllenP , while I highly doubt there will be any changes with existing quotas, it is still a preview feature and therefore subject to changes. As for when it will be made GA, there aren't any dates to share for right now. When that changes, I'll update this thread.
@Ryan Hill Any further updates or ETA on Static Web Apps pricing and GA?
You mentioned also it is likely to be aligned with App Services - can you suggest an example?
Hi @David Greenwood , we still don't have any dates at the moment to share. As for your second question with regards to alignment, Static Web Apps will be a PaaS offering that will fall under App Services, like WebJobs, Azure Functions, etc.
Regards,
Ryan
