+# Manage costs for Azure Spring Apps
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Azure Spring Apps is the new name for the Azure Spring Cloud service. Although the service has a new name, you'll see the old name in some places for a while as we work to update assets such as screenshots, videos, and diagrams.
+
+**This article applies to:** ✔️ Standard consumption (Preview) ✔️ Basic/Standard ✔️ Enterprise
+
+This article describes the cost-saving options and capabilities that Azure Spring Apps provides.
+
+## Monthly free grants
+
+The first 50 vCPU hours and 100-GB hours of memory are free each month. For more information, see [Price Reduction - Azure Spring Apps does more, costs less!](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/apps-on-azure-blog/price-reduction-azure-spring-apps-does-more-costs-less/ba-p/3614058) on the [Apps on Azure Blog](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/apps-on-azure-blog/bg-p/AppsonAzureBlog).
+
+## Start and stop instances
+
+If you have Azure Spring Apps instances that don't need to run continuously, you can save costs by reducing the number of running instances. For more information, see [Start or stop your Azure Spring Apps service instance](how-to-start-stop-service.md).
+
+## Standard consumption plan
+
+Unlike other pricing plans, the Standard consumption plan offers a pure consumption-based pricing model. You can dynamically add and remove resources based on the resource utilization, number of incoming HTTP requests, or by events. When running apps in a consumption plan, you're charged for active and idle usage of resources, and the number of requests. For more information, see the [Standard consumption plan](overview.md#standard-consumption-plan) section of [What is Azure Spring Apps?](overview.md)
+
+## Scale and autoscale
+
+You can manually scale computing capacities to accommodate a changing environment. For more information, see [Scale an application in Azure Spring Apps](how-to-scale-manual.md).
+
+Autoscale reduces operating costs by terminating redundant resources when they're no longer needed. For more information, see [Set up autoscale for applications](how-to-setup-autoscale.md).
+
+You can also set up autoscale rules for your applications in Azure Spring Apps Standard consumption plan. For more information, see [Quickstart: Set up autoscale for applications in Azure Spring Apps Standard consumption plan](quickstart-apps-autoscale-standard-consumption.md).
