scgough I had the same problem and used the following steps to reduce my cost running my development blockchain.
1) Select a lower tier VMSS for the two scale sets that Blockchain Workbench creates.
2) Power off VMSS when not using.
3) Select a lower tier app service plan.
4) Run the BWB in a dev/test Azure resource group.
Depending on use the cost can be between $50-$200/mo.
Cheers!
