In one line

Standard bills per state transition. Express swaps that for a per-start charge plus memory-seconds.

What gets missed

Standard counts every transition, retries included. Distributed Map bills one per iteration, an Inline Map none, so not every loop costs. Express bills duration times memory instead.

Find it on your bill

Filter Cost Explorer or your Cost and Usage Report by these usage types. A usage type with no region prefix means us-east-1.

Bills the same way

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