Yes: $0.80 / month / inactive pipeline. According to Data Pipeline Pricing, under the heading Inactive pipelines,
A pipeline is considered inactive if it has no associated trigger or any runs within the month. An inactive pipeline is charged at $0.80 per month.

Quick answer is NO. Based on ADF pricing document,the billing consists of Data pipelines
and SQL Server Integration Services
.
Your account only need to pay when you execute your activities(in the pipelines). Or it is related to migration of SQL Server DB.

Clarification question -- what is an "activity run" exactly? -- Is it a flat rate for an activity that's run once? -- What if the activity is transforming petabytes of data? -- Surely there is a higher cost? – BrainSlugs83 Feb 08 '21 at 20:43
