150 USD / mo is not a lot of money for most companies, especially for a production-grade, supported Kubernetes cluster, it might actually be a bit too cheap.
If you need that to be cheaper, try something like DigitalOcean Kubernetes from 10 USD / mo, or if AWS is important to your company, then KOPS can provide a self-managed/hosted control-plane.
Spotinst.com offer a great service that uses spot instances to squeeze your costs (I think around 30%)
So whilst I see why you may think K8s could be expensive vs Lambda, I think you might not have had all the information you needed.
