Cost of virtual workstations on Azure

I'm new to Azure and I'm working with a  CSP. They told me that a virtual workstation costs the same as a virtual server. If this were the case, it seems to me that would make even small deployments very expensive.

According to this article workstations are a lot less expensive https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/virtual-machines/windows/ 

Am I missing something or is the CSP wrong?

You pay for the resources you use.

These are the Azure components that factor into the price of a Windows Virtual Desktop deployment.
  • Virtual machines and operating system (OS) storage
  • Data disk (personal desktop only)
  • User profile storage
  • Networking

Btw. use Azure calc to calculate the price.

So the price for a VM running Windows 10 is the same as a VM running Server 2019 assuming all specs are the same?

The workstations will just be used for Office, documents and a small application that connects to the server. Would a B1MS: 1 core 2 GB RAM be enough?
