Azure SQL Advance Data Security (ADS) and Security Center Pricing

I have bit confusion on Azure SQL Security pricing as below, please help in this.

Security Center has cost $15/Server/Month. While enabling advanced data security for the SQL, it says 'Turn on Advanced Data Security for all databases on this server, at the cost of 15 USD/server/month. This includes Data Discovery & Classification, Vulnerability Assessment, and Advanced Threat Protection for the server.'

Both are pointing to the same cost or do we have to pay $15+$15=$30 altogether for a SQL server?

Thanks Regards Sakaldeep

I got the answer here. We need to pay only once.

"The cost of ADS is aligned with Azure Security Center standard tier pricing per node, where a node is the entire SQL Database server or managed instance. You are thus paying only once for protecting all databases on the database server or managed instance with ADS."
