With SaaS solutions running in the publisher's Azure subscription, license fees paid by customers include the cost of the infrastructure upon which the software is deployed. Azure infrastructure usage is managed and billed to you, the partner, directly. Actual infrastructure usage fees are not seen by the customer. Publishers should bundle Azure infrastructure usage fees into their software license pricing.

SaaS offers support monthly or annual billing based on a flat fee, per user, or consumption charges using the metered billing service. Microsoft's commercial marketplace operates on an agency model, whereby publishers set prices, Microsoft bills customers, and Microsoft pays revenue to the publisher while withholding an agency fee.
