App Deployment and Scaling Question

So, I have an app that I have been working on in my personal tenant for a music cruise we are going on in a few months. I posted screen captures in a Facebook group for people going on the cruise. There was interest from several people in using the app. Have any of you published an app for something similar where you may not know how many users will use it, or when?

In looking at the PA licensing Microsoft is doing away with the Per-App Plan and going to a model where if someone uses it, then you get charged through Azure billing (Pay As You Go - or PAYG).

The App is mainly going to be used during the one-week period of the cruise. Would it be better to remove the sharing of the app with the users, remove the connection between the app and Azure billing, or both? I don't want to be picking up the tab for 10$ per person per month in between.

How would you go about billing the users to reimburse the cost of the Azure billing?

I have attached some screen captures here in case anyone is interested.
