Azure OpenAI Service is a cloud-based service that provides access to full ChatGPT functionality. Azure OpenAI Service is a paid service, but it offers a pay-as-you-go pricing model, so you only pay for what you use. It also provides a free trial with a $200 credit for the first 30 days. For more information, see the pricing page.
