    Do you constantly have the apps open or do you close them when not in use?

    Closing the apps (which I find unnecessary, does not stop background activity if enabled).

    I wouldn't be worried too much about data being used by the apps.

    Maybe ensure that automatic app updates is not enabled on mobile data in settings.

    If your iPad is wifi only then it's not using mobile data.
