In one line
Batch itself is free. The scheduler costs nothing; you pay only for the EC2, Fargate or Lambda it launches.
This service turns no meters of its own. Read the trap below for what it makes you pay for elsewhere.
What gets missed
Zero-cost scheduler that can start a lot of EC2 very fast. The real bill is compute environments whose min vCPUs never scale to zero between jobs.
Bills the same way
These services turn exactly the same meters, so what you learn here transfers.
