In one line

DNS queries are genuinely a per-request charge here. Hosted zones bill monthly and Resolver ENIs bill hourly.

What gets missed

Alias records pointing at ELB, CloudFront, API Gateway and similar AWS targets answer for free, and private hosted zone queries cost nothing extra. Resolver endpoint ENIs bill hourly at any query volume.

Bills the same way

These services turn exactly the same meters, so what you learn here transfers.
