Matchmaking is billed as a result of every instance of a player matched, for example, a 3v3 game created via matchmaking is equivalent to 6 players matched. Pricing for each feature is additive, meaning that you pay for leaderboards, matchmaking and tournament usage separately, depending on what you have integrated.
