I was already working (in a feature branch) on functionality to fetch the marketplace prices. I think this is a great use case: optimizing money by using a different subscription type. Thanks for the suggestion!

I will be on holiday for a couple of weeks, so do not expect it soon. Will update the issue when I have something to try out.

Interesting idea; so scan a subscription, fetch the current cost, and determine what you would save when it was a DevTest subscription?

Exactly that :)

I've tried it with some jq logic, but it seems SKUs between the retail price API and output of azure-cost was not a 1-to-1 atm, using i.e. this: https://prices.azure.com/api/retail/prices?currencyCode='EUR'&$filter=priceType eq 'DevTestConsumption' and Location eq 'EU West' and serviceName eq 'Azure App Service'

Awesome! Happy to help with testing btw.

We've calculated the savings for a few of our subscriptions now by hand/Excel, we can easily compare the results there!
