From what I remember, you pay for the 4 ESXi hosts that form the base cluster, and then scale up if required. I guess the idea is that many large Enterprise organizations already have some kind of AWS/Azure presence, often unmanaged by IT, and this is a way to consolidate those workloads as well as provide a DR target.
I don't have exact quotes in hand, but the pricing we got was roughly competitive with Azure Site Recovery and Nutanixs' DR solution, which were our other two main options. In the end, we chose none of the above, and just built our own at triple the price with half the capabilities. C'est la vie.
