+This article describes four different ways to save your cost on Azure Spring Apps. At the end of this overview, you should have a clear understanding on how to save on your cost. Azure Spring Apps offers the following cost-saving options:
+
+- Save on memory with Monthly Free grants
+- Ability to start and stop instances
+- Consumption-based pricing model with the Standard Consumption Plan
+- Ability to set up autoscaling rules
+
+## 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).
+
+## Start and stop instance
+
+If your Azure Spring Apps 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](/azure/spring-apps/how-to-start-stop-service).
 
-Azure Spring Apps offers various cost-saving options, including monthly free grants, the ability to start and stop instances, a consumption-based pricing model with the Standard Consumption Plan, and the ability to set up autoscaling rules.
+## Standard Consumption Plan
 
-### 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)
+Unlike other plans, the Standard Consumption plan offers a pure consumption-based pricing model. Resources can be dynamically added and removed 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 number of requests. For more information, see the [Standard consumption plan](/azure/spring-apps/overview#standard-consumption-plan) section of [What is Azure Spring Apps](/azure/spring-apps/overview).
 
-### Start and stop instance
-Your applications running in Azure Spring Apps may not need to run continuously, you can save the cost by reducing the running instances, see [Start or stop your Azure Spring Apps service instance](/azure/spring-apps/how-to-start-stop-service).
+## Autoscale
 
-### Standard Consumption Plan
-Unlike other plans, Standard Consumption offers a pure consumption-based pricing model. Resources can be dynamically added and removed based on the resource utilization, number of incoming Http requests or events. When running apps in a consumption plan, you're charged for active and idle usage of resources, as well as number of requests. 
+Autoscale refers to setting up rules to increase or decrease computing capacities according to the changing environment. It reduces operating costs by terminating redundant resources once no longer needed. For more information, see [Set up autoscale for applications](/azure/spring-apps/how-to-setup-autoscale).
