Cultural Tip
In Portuguese‑speaking countries, 'preço' is the usual word for the monetary amount you pay, while 'custo' often refers to the underlying expense or effort. The phrase is neutral and works in both Brazil and Portugal, but in Brazil it can also carry a slightly philosophical tone, hinting at the idea that nothing comes for free. Use a polite tone when discussing prices in a professional setting; adding 'por favor' or 'com licença' softens the statement.
