Do I understand correctly that the main advantage of Azure Functions is that you don't have to pay for bandwidth? Because PlayFab services also work on Azure?
And if I use, for example, Amazon (AWS) with my own backend, then I have to pay extra for a large amount of data traffic between PlayFab?
To use Azure Functions, you must bring your own Azure subscription. In addition to the cost charged by Azure Functions, PlayFab also charges the number of calls (Total Executions) made to Azure Functions via ExecuteFunction API calls, actions & rules, and scheduled tasks, which is a minor cost about $0.20 per additional million executions. You can refer to Pricing Meters - PlayFab | Microsoft Learn for more detail. And you don't pay for data transfer between Azure services in the same region, while PlayFab core service is located at PlayFab static IP prefixes and addresses. You can check it from [Game Manager] -> [Title settings] -> [API Features]-> [PlayFab static IP prefixes and addresses].

Is that so? I thought you have to pay for everything.
Network bandwidth
You don't pay for data transfer between Azure services in the same region. However, you can incur costs for outbound data transfers to another region or outside of Azure. To learn more, see Bandwidth pricing details.
