Get $1,000 in credits when you subscribe to Elastic Cloud on Microsoft Marketplace

Limited time offer, May 4–November 30, 2026: Launch Elastic Cloud on Microsoft Marketplace, complete your subscription, and enter the promo code to receive up to $1,000 in billing credits to use over your first three months — no upfront cost.

  • How it works

    To be eligible for a billing credit of up to $1,000 in Elastic Consumption Units over your first three months (the "billing credits"), you must complete all steps described below between May 4 and November 30, 2026 (the "promotional period").

    1. Subscribe to an Elastic Cloud monthly subscription
      Subscribe via Microsoft Marketplace with one of the Search, Vector Database, Observability, or Security SaaS listings by November 30, 2026, by creating a resource from the Azure Portal.
    2. Start a 7-day trial
      During the promotional period, start with a seven‑day free trial and explore Elastic Cloud at no cost. Trial usage does not count against your billing credits.
    3. Activate your billing credits
      Enter promo code AZURE2026 in the Billing page of the Elastic Cloud Console to redeem the credits. You must enter the promo code in order to be eligible for the promotion. Signup for the free trial alone does not qualify you for the credits; if you do not enter the promo code, you will not receive the credits. After the trial ends, eligible usage charges are automatically offset by up to $1,000 in credits.
    4. Use credits for up to 3 months
      Credits remain valid until the $1,000 limit is reached or three months have elapsed, whichever comes first. At the end of the three months, any unused credits remaining are void and forfeit and do not carry over. Track your usage directly in your cloud marketplace billing dashboard and scale your cloud usage with confidence.

  • RAG applications

    Make your generative AI apps smarter by pulling relevant context at query time. Use your credits to test, iterate, and improve grounded responses before you go to production.

  • Cloud security visibility

    Bring together security signals from across your Microsoft environment for a clearer view of activity and risk. Elastic helps teams move faster from detection to investigation, without adding more operational complexity.

Terms and Conditions

Overview: The promotional credit is expressed in Elastic Consumption Units. Eligible customers can receive up to 1,000 Elastic Consumption Units (ECU) valid for use during the first three months of their Elastic Cloud monthly subscription when purchasing through Microsoft Marketplace and entering the required promo code.

Eligibility: Offer valid for new Elastic Cloud customers who subscribe via the Microsoft Marketplace (Search, Observability, or Security SaaS listings) between May 4, 2026, and November 30, 2026. "New customer" is defined as an entity that does not currently have a paid Elastic Cloud account or an Elastic Cloud subscription on the Microsoft Marketplace and has not had one within the past 12 months. This offer is available only for new Elastic Cloud monthly subscriptions purchased through Microsoft Marketplace and may not be applied to any existing, prior, renewed, or previously cancelled subscriptions, accounts, or customers.This offer is strictly limited to monthly pay-as-you-go subscriptions for users acting in a professional capacity on behalf of their organization. This offer is available only for a registered business with a working website. Personal or student accounts are not eligible. Eligibility is restricted to one redemption per unique Azure ID; multiple claims by different users under the same Azure ID are not permitted. Annual contracts, multiyear commitments, or other subscription terms are not eligible. To qualify, users must sign up for a free trial of Elastic Cloud and then enter promo code AZURE2026 in the Billing page of the Elastic Cloud Console to redeem the credits. You must enter the promo code in order to be eligible for the promotion. Signup for the free trial of Elastic Cloud alone does not qualify you for the credits; if you do not enter the promo code, you will not receive the credits. This offer is available only through Microsoft Marketplace, and you must subscribe to Elastic Cloud monthly through Microsoft Marketplace to be eligible. Standard Microsoft Marketplace billing terms apply. This offer is limited to one credit per eligible customer and one Elastic Cloud account. Elastic channel partners, resellers, agents, and/or distributors are not eligible to participate or to receive the billing credit.

Credit details (Elastic Consumption Units): The promotional credit is expressed in Elastic Consumption Units, not dollars. Eligible customers will receive a promotional billing credit of up to 1,000 Elastic Consumption Units (ECU). All Elastic Cloud usage is metered and billed in ECU. While the nominal value of 1 ECU is US$1.00, the credit is applied as a consumption unit balance, not a cash value. For customers billed in a currency other than USD, the local currency equivalent of the ECU consumption will be determined based on an exchange rate set solely by Elastic (or its billing partners) at the time of invoicing. Credits are limited to a maximum of 1,000 ECU per eligible customer/account and apply only to usage charges incurred within the first 90 days (three months) following the expiration of the initial 7-day free trial.

Timing: You must start your deployment during the promotional period specified in the offer communication. The offer includes a 7-day free trial. Any usage incurred during the 7-day trial period does not count toward the $1,000 billing credit. Credit is applied only to eligible Elastic Cloud SaaS usage fees on Microsoft Marketplace; it cannot be applied to other services, taxes, or third-party fees. Credits apply until either 1,000 ECUs are fully used or three months have elapsed, whichever occurs first. Any unused credits at the end of the three-month period are forfeited and cannot be reinstated, carried over, or redeemed for cash. Any usage above the 1,000 ECU credit amount will be billed through your Microsoft Azure account. Credits may only be applied to the same Elastic Cloud account under which they were issued.

Elastic reserves the right to modify or cancel this promotion at any time without notice. This is a limited-time offer and is void where prohibited or restricted by law or company policy. The offer is non-transferable, has no cash value, and may not be redeemed for cash or other compensation. Elastic reserves the right to determine eligibility, qualified usage, and credit application in its sole discretion. Elastic may request additional information to validate eligibility. This includes verifying legitimate business affiliation, confirming ‘net new’ status by excluding pre-existing customer organizations, and preventing duplicate claims within a single Azure ID. Additionally, this data may be used to screen applicants against existing communication preferences and opt-out lists to ensure compliance with global privacy standards. If eligibility requirements are not met, the billing credit may be denied or revoked. Quantities are limited and the offer is subject to availability ("while supplies last").
