The pricing of NGINX Plus is a bit steep compared to other options I have used. NGINX Plus licensing is annual or three-year based, and it is socket-based. You pay for the license according to the number of server sockets you need. The license is bound to a specific server or virtual server, so it can't be used across multiple servers unless you opt for a multi-tenant license.
A lot of people don't know that Plus offers much better features than the OSS version. In an organization that's running a private CDN, they might have thousands of instances right now. Moving to NGINX Plus is a huge cost. The list price of NGINX Plus is close to $5,500. If you upgrade all the thousands of instances, it can cost up to $6 million for optimization, which some customers may not be willing to do for all of the instances.

The cost is reasonable.
The solution is free, but you can spend a lot of money with a complex solution.
I use the solution's community edition which is free of cost.
The licensing cost is yearly, and it can be quite expensive.
HAProxy is cheaper than NGINX.

For us, the solution is pretty affordable. We don’t use it too much. It’s inexpensive for our setup. That said, I can’t speak about the exact cost.
They offer a free product, but there's a license for the more advanced features like API gateway. It's a mid-range cost.
I do not know about this.
