I don't know about pricing. I'm paying for Visual Studio, even though I'm not using the new version yet. Prices can always be better, but I think for the environment provided, the prices are acceptable. There is a free version available for the old version and also for the new version.
I do not know the pricing. I am not directly involved in the process. However, in the end, the cost of .NET is something that the corporation can absorb.
Microsoft .NET Framework is very cost-effective for corporate users. If you're on Microsoft, you have no choice but to use it. We have an enterprise agreement with Microsoft, and the solution comes to us as part of a bundle. Overall, we are satisfied with the solution's pricing. The solution has helped us save around 25% of our operational costs. On a scale from one to ten, where one is bad and ten is good, I rate the solution's pricing ten out of ten.
I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten. It's an expensive solution. The high operational cost is often due to integration requirements with Visual Studio. There are no additional costs to the initial contract with Microsoft .NET Framework. When new developers or users are added to a project, you need to purchase Visual Studio Lab.

In the interim, there's no need to purchase videos for viewing. Microsoft has made significant moves in the .NET space, starting with their response in Visual Studio Code and now providing Visual Studio entirely for free. This is a notable shift from the past when we used to pay substantial amounts for technical subscriptions. Previously, a group of ten developers could cost several thousand dollars annually for licensing. However, the current trend is to offer these tools for free to maintain their dominance in the developer market. The market dynamics have changed, and now developers can freely download Visual Studio, making it a preferred choice over other paid options.
Within my organization, we use tools from Microsoft. So we get a subscription from them. And for running that application in a production environment, we have their different tools' licenses from Microsoft, and we also have Azure subscriptions, like a couple of Azure subscriptions, one for the non-prod environment and one for prod environments.

The product’s pricing is a bit high. It's not an open-source tool. Organizations prefer the enterprise edition. Though there are some restrictions, developer versions are useful for learning purposes.
The support is an extra cost when purchasing the license. The price of the solution is overall reasonable and paid annually or every three years. Additionally, they have a monthly license. The cost is approximately $1,000 per user. There are other licenses that can be purchased and add-ons, such as enterprise licenses and third-party add-ons. I rate the price of Microsoft .NET Framework a six out of ten.
If you want to go for development, there is an open-source ID call at video studio code. If you want to go for enterprise development, then there is a video studio professional or enterprise, which is a little costly for an individual. I think individual developers can do this work free of coupons. They don't need to pay anything to Microsoft for that.

Microsoft .NET has both open source and licensing options. Microsoft Framework and Visual Studio are licensed however, they have introduced .NET Core which is open source. In .NET Core, you will find Angular which is open source.
There is a Community Edition that can be used free of charge, but the licensing cost for the Enterprise version is quite high. Some of the tools that are available in the Community Edition need a valid license to run. Compared to other vendors, Microsoft products definitely have a higher price tag. I would say that is my only grievance.
One advantage to Microsoft .NET Framework is that it is a free product and everyone can use it. It is a very good point about that product because it makes it friendly and easy to adopt over many users. The solutions and use of technical support are free as well.
Microsoft .NET Framework is a software development framework for building and running applications for Windows, Windows Phone, Windows servers, XML Web services, and Microsoft Azure. The software is made up of two major components: Common Language Runtime (CLR) and the .NET Framework Class Library. The CLR is the execution engine that handles running apps and the Class Library is a library of tested, reusable code that developers can call from their own apps.
