Translator / Free Tier / S1

Hi

I'm using the free tier of Azure Translator for one of my apps and I'm very happy with it. The problem is that the free tier usage quota of 2M characters / month is not sufficient anymore and I have to stop offering auto translations until new quota is available.

I would just switch to the Translator S1 pay-as-you-go tier but I'm a bit stingy and would really appreciate the same benefits the free tier offers, namely 2M characters/month for free.

Is there a good solution to this problem or can I just create another Azure account (one free tier and one S1)?

Thanks!
Thorsten

    @ThoHot Yes, you could technically create another resource in an other subscription and use the free tier but managing your application with more than one endpoint might not give the required experience/output. If you're usage is higher there is always volume discount on higher tiers i.e S2 onwards and use a single endpoint for all your translation needs. You can use the pricing calculator to determine what is the best fit and choose your tier accordingly.
