In one line
Free. Users, roles, policies, MFA, all of it.
This service turns no meters of its own. Read the trap below for what it makes you pay for elsewhere.
What gets missed
IAM itself never bills. Access Analyzer is the part that does, and it is a separate entry: unused-access and internal-access analysers charge per monitored resource per month.
Bills the same way
These services turn exactly the same meters, so what you learn here transfers.
