Wikipedia lists Angara A5 as 5.4 t to GTO in one configuration (Briz-M), and 7.5 t in another configuration. Falcon Heavy is listed at 21.2 t GTO.
For cost, couldn't find estimates for Angara, but to compare Falcon Heavy with Proton (same GTO payload capacity as Angara, ancient tech):
Falcon Heavy: $85M per launch for up to 6,400 kg to GTO
Proton/Block DM: $95M per launch
