The pricing of the tool depends on the organization. If your organization is not making that much money, then I don't think you should use the enterprise or any other expensive versions of the solution. I recommend the tool for bigger companies.

The enterprise version can get quite expensive. The bigger the customer, the more resources the customer requires, which can add to the cost. We've had a customer that has spent around 40,000 Euros for a database.

The cost of the solution varies. It depends on which features you plan to use, for example, or which specific solution. I'd rate the price a three out of five in terms of affordability.
I do not know firsthand about the price of Oracle Database as a Service, but it is known that Oracle solutions tend to be priced higher than competitors.

We are a value add software as a service house so we are not really paying the cost of the licenses, the customer is the one who pays month-to-month. The customer is paying the money for their Oracle database in our case. We only use the product for development and testing to be able to deliver the services. For the customer, our service becomes an advantage. So the price may seem high, but for them, it is reasonable and not so high as it could cost them much more to deploy separately. The price corresponds to the quality of the product and services they receive in return.

You will pay in relation to what option you ask for. The price is very good if you compare it to other databases.
