It depends on how many seats and how many platforms you want.
For a single user it is $12,000 per platform.  That is quite
a bit more than the "free" for unsupported use.

The comment about "Not too many vendors left" does seem to
be incorrect.  There are more vendors of C compilers, but
it is not clear to me that is a blessing.  Locally I can
find only about 4 brands of corn flakes breakfast cereal.
