In one line

Workload estimates are free; bill estimates are free for the first five a month, then billed per estimate.

What gets missed

The cost-planning tool has its own line item. After five bill estimates in a calendar month every further one is charged, including ones generated by the API. Failed estimates are neither counted nor billed.
