In the cloud everything costs.

What Azure will offer you is this:

• Build in the cloud with an Azure free account: they will give you around $200 for free. Then you pay.
• If you use Azure SQL Database Basic or S0 you will have contained costs at least at the beginning with bad performances.
• Azure SQL Database Serverless: your database will go to sleep after 1h of no connections. But you will pay a bit more when in use.

You cannot escape the costs when you are in the cloud.

Maybe try to put everything on a NAS at home if it's an amateur project.

EDIT: There is also this new cloud which is apparently very cheap: https://neon.tech/
