The first time you visit the [Azure Video Indexer](https://www.videoindexer.ai/) website, a trial account is automatically created. The trial Azure Video Indexer account has limitation on number of indexing minutes, support, and SLA.

When starting out with [Azure Video Indexer](https://www.videoindexer.ai/), click **start free** to kick off a quick and easy process of creating a trial account. No Azure subscription is required and this is a great way to explore Azure Video Indexer and try it out with your content. Keep in mind that the trial Azure Video Indexer account has a limitation on the number of indexing minutes, support, and SLA.

* ARM-based accounts management is built on Azure, which enables using [Azure RBAC](../role-based-access-control/overview.md) (recommended).

* Classic accounts are built on the API Management.

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/).

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.

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.
