The major cost is the hardware for the host and also for the front-end services. If you use high availability (which is recommended for production) you need three (small) servers - ideally outside the hosts. Then you need some space to host them. Don't forget the storage part too. We decided to use Storpool for VM storage as it is really powerful in terms of I/OS and is very reliable.

There isn't much difference between the open source product of OpenNebula and the enterprise one. The free version has full distribution potential. The price of the integration is not included in the price of the software so it's very cheap. If you compare it with VMware, there are different costs of integration because you pay a lot of money for different kinds of licenses. You only pay for privileged features like enterprise repository and technical support.

We use the free community version of OpenNebula.
This is an open-source product.

OpenNebula is open-source, but I believe they also have an enterprise version you can buy with support setting up and configuring the solution.

We use the Community Edition, rather than the Enterprise Edition.
vRA is very expensive but OpenNebula is free.
