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.
Amazon Elastic Load Balancing is cheaper when compared to other major public load balancers like Azure and GCP. Each Amazon service has its own charges, and additional technical support incurs extra costs based on the support model selected.
The licensing cost cannot be considered as expensive since I feel it is a reasonably priced product.

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.
