JBoss is the cheaper option out of the three when compared to WebSphere and WebLogic. Though I haven't done a detailed price comparison, the licensing fee is cheaper, and due to its flexibility, the maintenance is easier and cheaper.

Licensing costs are always debatable. While there are free, open-source alternatives like Java EE and WildFly, they lack the support and reliability of a paid, certified product like JBoss. With JBoss, you get the peace of mind of premium support and avoid potential issues in production environments.
Licensing is flexible. It comes in a subscription model, so it doesn't actually lock to a specific server. That's one of the good things. Licensing costs vary from company to company. It depends on the requirements and size. Definitely, it is better than the proprietary cost. Everything is included under the license. there are extra fees.

We pay to license on a yearly basis. We were spending something like $12,000 in the first year. This year it's something close to $16,000. We don't have additional fees or anything like that. It's a standard subscription.
I'm not sure of the exact pricing, however, my sense is that it's expensive as the client no longer wants to pay for it and would like to move away from it or onto the cloud.
Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP), a market-leading, fully certified Java EE platform, gives you a single platform to quickly develop and deploy applications.
