I need to learn AAD B2C, and I have a pay-as-you-go account. How much would it cost to have a basic B2C setup (follow the Microsoft tutorial and play around a bit to understand how this exactly works)? Want to be careful not to inadvertently accrue any unwanted charges. I tried the Pricing Calculator, as suggested by this post, but not sure what all products do I need to add to get a close approximation.

Potential costs for Azure AD B2C:
Tier Selection:
Free Tier: You can start with the free tier, which includes 50,000 monthly active users (MAU) for single sign-on (SSO) and 50,000 for multi-factor authentication (MFA). An MAU is a unique user that performs an authentication within a calendar month.
Premium P1 and P2 Tiers: These offer additional features like MFA with phone-based authentication, premium connectors, etc. But for just learning, the free tier should be sufficient.
The main cost after you exceed the free tier is based on the number of authentications. If you're just playing around, you're unlikely to exceed the free tier limit. If you decide to explore premium features, such as using premium connectors to external IdPs (Identity Providers), then there will be additional costs associated.
