If you allow to count non-pecuniary costs, then GMail is even more costly, as it will cost you your soul. Or, in more objective and less loaded terms, it costs your integrity as it turns you into an agent of their dominance and makes you contribute to the worsening of email for everybody who is not a vassal of one of the powerful providers.
