Do Heroku Scheduler tasks cost money?

Solution
Yes, a Heroku Scheduler will accrue usage and will cost money if you go over your 750 free dyno-hours you are given per app each month. As long as you keep within that limit, you won't be charged.
Scheduler runs one-off dynos, which accrue usage just like regular dynos. They will appear with a “scheduler” dyno type in your Heroku invoice.
Problem
I've been reading through Heroku's documentation but just found it plain confusing. I have an app up that has both a web-based front-end (with web process) and a task that's set to run every day at midnight by Heroku Scheduler (shows up on `heroku ps` as `run.1`). So, my `heroku ps` looks like this: ``` Process State Command ------- ---------- ------------------------------------ run.1 up for 21h python webpage/listings.py web.1 up for 8m python ./manage.py runserver 0.0.0.. ``` What I'm trying to figure out is, is this considered two dynos? Is the `run` task considered a background task? Main question: Will this cost money?
