In one line

Training stops billing when the job ends. A real-time endpoint bills until you delete it.

What gets missed

An endpoint charges instance-hours from creation to deletion with zero invocations, which is the usual SageMaker surprise. Serverless and asynchronous inference both scale to zero for bursty traffic.

Bills the same way

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