cheaper
More of bargain
Cheaper is the comparative form of cheap, meaning lower in price or cost than something else: The generic brand is cheaper than the name brand.
It can also suggest inferior quality: They went with the cheaper option and regretted it.
Cheaper carries the same potential sting as cheap—implying stinginess or shoddiness rather than just affordability.
