The Cognitive Services (Computer Vision) pricing page Lists transactions costs for Free tier and S1 Instance. However in the Usage file for OCR use, the usage data is for S3 transactions, is there an updated pricing page somewhere?

Question

Hello Computer Vision experts,

Is there a pricing page for Computer Vision that shows S3 transactions?
In the pricing page for Computer Vision https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/cognitive-services/computer-vision/ (1)
and the Pricing Calculator (2), there only seems to be pricing info for Free and S1 Instance.

However, in the usage data shared with me, I can see the MeterName is a "S3 transaction" which should be Meter ID: f20a5872-7aa2-432d-a3c7-52397f209096

where as the S1 instance OCR pricing

on this pricing page is actually Meter ID: a68b7c67-c7da-4f84-9a5d-52568d253684.

Has there been a change where when using Computer Vision OCR, is now a "S3" transaction and if so, is there a pricing page / pricing calculator which reflects this?

Thank you for your time and expertise in advance,
Peter

Answer 1

Hello,

I got confirmation from product team, this is the way computer vision has worked for at least the past 3 years . What is shown on the price page is the SKU. What the customer sees on the bill are the meters. Granted there is some confusion because most of the time the SKU and the meter are aligned but in the case of computer vision the three different pricing buckets align to three different meters for the same SKU.

Sorry for the confusion, we are working on optimize the bill to make things clear.
