I am using Azure SQL Database for storing of my company record. But they are charging really more and it is very expensive. I am using SQL Database Standard edition, so I thought I can move on to basic edition to minimize the expenses. What is the difference between standard and basic edition. Please suggest any solution.

Have a look at this comparison between tiers:
The main information is the DTU (Database Throughput Unit) that allows you to compare tiers.
As of today (10/2015), prices are:
B: $0.0067/hr (~$5/mo)
S0: $0.0202/hr (~$15/mo)
S1: $0.0403/hr (~$30/mo)
S2: $0.1008/hr (~$75/mo)
S3: $0.2016/hr (~$150/mo)
P1: $0.625/hr (~$465/mo)
P2: $1.25/hr (~$930/mo)
P4: $2.50/hr (~$1,860/mo)
P6: $5/hr (~$3,720/mo)
P11:$9.41/hr (~$7,001/mo)

For low and middle performance databases the prices are skyrocketing. Going from web to basic explode costs if you have many small databases as I have
That's inacceptable.
The switch to new pricing tiers is in my opinion is a scam. Time to switch to other providers!
