You can later create a paid account where you're not limited by the quota. Two types of paid accounts are available to you: Azure Resource Manager (recommended) and classic. The main difference between the two is account management platform.

* ARM-based accounts management is built on Azure, which enables using [Azure RBAC](../role-based-access-control/overview.md) (recommended).
31
-
* Classic accounts are built on the API Management.
26
+
When you have used up the free trial minutes or are ready to start using Video Indexer for production workloads, you can create a regular paid account which doesn't have minute, support, or SLA limitations. Account creation can be performed through the Azure portal (see [Create an account with the Azure portal](create-account-portal.md)) or API (see [Create accounts with API](/rest/api/videoindexer/stable/accounts)).

With the paid option, you pay for indexed minutes, for more information, see [Azure Video Indexer pricing](https://azure.microsoft.com/pricing/details/video-indexer/).
28
+
Azure Video Indexer unlimited accounts are Azure Resource Manager (ARM) based and unlike trial accounts, are created in your Azure subscription. Moving to an unlimited ARM based account unlocks many security and management capabilities, such as [RBAC user management](../role-based-access-control/overview.md), [Azure Monitor integration](../azure-monitor/overview.md), deployment through ARM templates, and much more.

When creating a new paid account, you need to connect the Azure Video Indexer account to your Azure subscription and an Azure Media Services account.
30

Billing is per indexed minute, with the per minute cost determined by the selected preset. For more information regarding pricing, see [Azure Video Indexer pricing](https://azure.microsoft.com/pricing/details/video-indexer/).

## Classic accounts

Before ARM based accounts were added to Azure Video Indexer, there was a "classic" account type (where the accounts management plane is built on API Management.) The classic account type is still used by some users.
