Global entry has an application fee of $100, or is included with the $50 Nexus program. The “interview” I did for Nexus was shorter than some passport controls at the border. It was a non event. They are very clear that it is a privilege, and that they can take it away for a variety of reasons outside of your control. You still pay the application fee even if you never qualify.
