Azure Service Plan - Scale out charges

Question

Do i need to pay twice the monthly charges (56$/month) if I "scale out" my basic service plan to 2 instances ? Or price is inclusive up to 3 instances ?

Answer 1

You'll be charged per instance when you scale out. So two instances will be $112/month, and three will be $168/month.

Answer 2

As Rob Reagan mentioned that it will be charged per instance. We can get the price via azure pricing calculator. More details please refer to the screenshot.

Answer 3

If you are not going to use the 3 capabilities full time, program the horizontal scale of your service to use at least 1 to 3 instances when you reach a certain parameter you can choose. This way you will pay for the additional machines only for as long as they are needed.
