In one line

Charged per monitored resource per month. Threat Analytics meters separately on events and log volume.

Resource units are weighted very unevenly. One EC2 instance is a whole unit while it takes roughly a dozen Lambda functions or over a hundred IAM identities to reach the same unit.

Bills the same way

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