What is included in each ACR SKU?

Basic includes 10 GB storage, Standard includes 100 GB, and Premium includes 500 GB. All tiers charge for overage storage. Premium adds geo-replication, content trust, private link support, and customer-managed keys. Webhooks and build tasks (ACR Tasks) are available across all tiers.

How does geo-replication pricing work?

Geo-replication is available only on Premium SKU. Each additional replica region incurs the Premium tier base fee plus storage costs for replicated images. Data transfer between regions follows standard Azure egress pricing. Geo-replication ensures low-latency pulls from regional AKS clusters.

ACR Tasks is a built-in container image build service that runs Dockerfiles in Azure without requiring a local Docker daemon or separate CI server. You pay per build-second of compute used. It supports multi-step tasks, automatic builds triggered by source code commits or base image updates.

About This Tool

The Azure Container Registry Cost Estimator helps you project monthly ACR costs across Basic, Standard, and Premium SKUs. It accounts for included storage, overage charges, build minutes from ACR Tasks, geo-replication fees for Premium, and data transfer costs. The tool helps you choose the right SKU tier based on image storage volume, build frequency, and multi-region requirements.

When to Use This Tool

•Choosing between Basic and Standard ACR SKUs based on projected image storage volume and pull frequency.
•Estimating Premium tier costs when geo-replication is needed for multi-region AKS deployments.
•Calculating ACR Tasks build costs for container image CI/CD pipelines.
•Comparing ACR costs against self-hosted registries or third-party alternatives.
