Hello Hakim , Welcome to MS Q&A

The cost associated with scheduling activities in Azure Data Factory (ADF) and Azure Databricks (ADB) depends on the number of activity runs and the execution time. Here are some key points:

Azure Data Factory (ADF): The cost includes the number of activity runs and the execution time. For example, if you schedule a data copy activity from AWS S3 to Azure Blob storage and transform it with Azure Databricks on an hourly schedule for 8 hours per day for 30 days, the total cost for 30 days is approximately $41.01. This includes the cost of activity runs and execution time.

Azure Databricks (ADB): There is no extra cost specifically for the task scheduler. The cost is primarily based on the compute resources used during the execution of tasks.

For more detailed information, you can refer to the following resources:
