To try Azure AI Search for free, [open a trial subscription](https://azure.microsoft.com/pricing/free-trial/?WT.mc_id=A261C142F) and then create your search service by choosing the **Free** tier. You can have one free search service per Azure subscription. Free search services are intended for short-term evaluation of the product for nonproduction applications.

A Visual Studio subscription gives you credits every month you can use for paid Azure services.
