Azure Data Factory is fairly priced because it allows you to pay for what you use. Your company's calculation at the end of the month will be based on pipeline orchestration and execution, data flow execution and debugging, and other operations you have used. This, in my opinion, is more than fair since some months you may need to use pipeline monitoring and you will pay for it only this certain month when you used it. There are many competitors who offer similar services to Azure, however, the pricing model of this solution makes it a top choice for me. You can always research similar platforms and see if their prices suit your taste more, but this one is definitely worth considering.
I believe the price of ADF is fair for what it offers. I worked in a big tech company that had previous issues with managing their data. We had a person who was responsible for data integration, but his work was not as effective as was needed so the company resorted to paying for Azure Data Factory. Obviously, in a tech company, everyone would find it easier to integrate a software but, in my opinion, even if you do not have a lot of computer knowledge, you would still use the solution easily. We were able to organize our data better and make the workflow more efficient, so the price of the service was definitely worth it.
Not if you're planning on deploying SSIS packages to ADF. Requires you to run the Azure Integration Runtime services which can rack up to $70 per day regardless if you're running an ETL or not.
