Microsoft Azure Pipelines Plans Pricing

Azure Pipelines is priced by parallel job (concurrency), not by user. Each pipeline run consumes one parallel job at a time. Two flavors are sold separately — Microsoft-hosted parallel jobs (Microsoft manages agent VMs) at $40/job/month and self-hosted parallel jobs (you provide infrastructure) at $15/job/month. The platform offers a free tier that depends on whether the project is public or private and is currently disabled by default for new organizations (must be requested). Visual Studio Enterprise subscribers get one free self-hosted job each. Pipelines is also bundled in Azure DevOps Services alongside Repos, Boards, and Artifacts.
