Subscribing on Azure Marketplace

FortiAppSec Cloud on Azure supports an annual subscription and a pay-as-you-go billing model.

For usage details and consumption rates, please visit the Fortinet FortiAppSec Cloud Web Application and API Protection page on Azure Marketplace.

If you are purchasing a contract for an existing account, please use the same email address associated with that account when completing the purchase. This ensures the new contract is correctly linked to your existing FortiCloud account.

Please note that even if you subscribed through Azure, you can use FortiAppSec Cloud to protect applications located on any other cloud platform or in your own network. The subscribing channel only determines the billing places for your FortiAppSec Cloud usage.

Billing

The billing rates are the same across all supported public cloud marketplaces (Azure, AWS, and GCP).

• Annual subscription customers prepay for a set number of usage points (e.g., 10,000 points) at the time of subscription. They are only charged extra if their monthly usage exceeds the pre-purchased amount.

• PAYG (Pay-As-You-Go) subscription customers subscribe at no upfront cost and are billed monthly based on the number of points they actually use.

FortiAppSec WAF Minimum Charge: A daily charge for 5 Mbps of bandwidth applies whenever a WAF application exists. FortiAppSec GSLB DNS Query Minimum Charge: A daily charge for 20 QPS applies when GSLB DNS is enabled.
