Well, if there's only 2, maybe 3 of you – anything beyond that is going to use a server to host the call for reliability.

Do you mean for more than 3 - the call/video is routed through the server and would consume server bandwidth? If so how is jitsi paying for all this if it is free?

I don't know how they're paying but it's absolutely 100% routed through a server.
