Sentinel's 50 GB commitment tier promotion closes to new sign-ups on 2026-12-31

Microsoft's Sentinel pricing page, read on 2026-11-05, lists a 50 GB a day commitment tier at USD 161.25 a day, in public preview. Promotional pricing runs from 2025-10-01 to 2026-12-31, and customers who sign up in that window keep the promotional price until 2027-03-31 (Microsoft Sentinel pricing page).

The page says the promotional price varies by region, cannot be combined with other Sentinel discounts, and applies to existing or new purchases. Pay-as-you-go stays at USD 4.30 per GB analysed, and the next tier on the page is 100 GB a day at USD 296 a day. Logic Apps charges for playbooks are billed on top.

What it changes for a buyer

A smaller entry tier lowers the cost of starting on Sentinel automation for a small team, and the sign-up window is short. Sentinel's pricing row scores 8.0 because the page publishes per-GB and tier prices, and this note does not change it.
