We mainly utilize the free tier for application load balancers for demo purposes. Network load balancers are not covered by the free tier, so we monitor usage. Despite this, I haven't assessed detailed cost implications as it's not used extensively beyond certain limits.

Learn what your peers think about Amazon Elastic Load Balancing. Get advice and tips from experienced pros sharing their opinions. Updated: February 2025.
The licensing cost cannot be considered as expensive since I feel it is a reasonably priced product. You need to pay no licensing fee, but you need to pay based on the amount of traffic handled by the load balancer. The licensing fees are based on the number of connections one uses. It is a free tool for a certain amount of connections, which runs into thousands, and after that, there is a certain amount to be paid to Amazon. The product prepares a bill for you based on the number of hours and the amount of data processed.
I don't know precisely what it costs, but they're charging you for the amount of data that you transmit. You pay a small fee to have the services enabled, but you're really paying for the amount of data that goes through that VPC.
Elastic Load Balancing automatically distributes incoming application traffic across multiple targets, such as Amazon EC2 instances, containers, IP addresses, and Lambda functions. It can handle the varying load of your application traffic in a single Availability Zone or across multiple Availability Zones. Elastic Load Balancing offers three types of load balancers that all feature the high availability, automatic scaling, and robust security necessary to make your applications fault tolerant.
