Oracle's licensing costs are very high. Due to the increased license costs, we migrated from Oracle hardware like SuperCluster and MiniCluster to HPE Nutanix to manage costs while continuing to use Oracle Database 19c.
The pricing of Oracle Multitenant is a six or seven compared to other database providers. There are no extra expenses beyond the standard licensing fee, except for specific features like Active Data Guard and GoldenGate.
Oracle Multitenant is suitable mainly for large enterprises due to its high cost and resource demands. There are additional fees beyond standard licensing, which makes it expensive.

When I was upgrading from version 11 to 12, the budget was limited, so I didn't get the latest version for production. For me, I will go with it if I have the budget. Some features are nicer than before, but at the end of the day, you always have a limited budget. I prefer to upgrade and get specific hardware when possible. In the end, you will have to make a compromise. You will not get everything you would have liked to have.

In my opinion, the price is worth the quality. But, the general view of customers is that Oracle is expensive. There are some cost-lowering benefits.

I can't speak to the cost. I don't handle licensing.
Like us, most customers use the free version. I believe that licensing for the paid version costs around €20,000 per year.
