Microsoft provides the Azure Quantum Resource Estimator target, along with several in-memory quantum simulators, as part of the Quantum Development Kit.
The Azure Quantum Resource Estimator allows you to understand the resources required to run a particular algorithm. By incorporating the Resource Estimator in your development workflow and continuously evaluating your quantum program, you can understand how implementation changes to the program impact resource consumption.

For more information, see An introduction to resource estimation or Run your first resource estimate.
The Quantum Development Kit includes an in-memory quantum simulator, the Sparse simulator. The sparse simulator simulates quantum algorithms with sparse states,that is, small number of states in superposition.
In-memory simulators have the advantage of being able to run locally and thus faster, as well as running jobs as often as needed free of charge.
