Is STP more expensive?

Could you elaborate on the cost comparison between STP and its alternatives? I've heard murmurs in the market about STP being relatively pricey, but I'd like to hear a more detailed analysis. Are there specific factors that drive up the cost of STP? Does it offer unique features or services that justify its higher price tag? Additionally, how does the cost of STP compare to similar solutions in the market? I'm interested in understanding whether STP's pricing is competitive or if there are more cost-effective options available. Thank you for clarifying this matter.
