Azure DNS

Microsoft Azure's managed authoritative DNS, billed per hosted zone and per query.

Mainly of interest to teams already running infrastructure on Azure. Costs scale with both zones and traffic: $0.50 per zone per month for the first 25 and $0.10 after, plus $0.40 per million queries up to 1B a month and $0.20 above. Those rates match Route 53, while Google Cloud DNS charges less per zone, and very large zones pay $0.0015 for each record set beyond 10,000.
