In one line

One flat hourly fee per source server. The real money is the EBS and EC2 it quietly runs for you.

What gets missed

That per-server hour is the small part. A staging EBS volume for every source disk, the point-in-time snapshots and the replication EC2 instances all bill under EBS and EC2, running even when you never fail over.
