No, I compare it with Oracle Enterprise Edition. I check the US price:
https://www-112.ibm.com/software/howtobuy/buyingtools/paexpress/Express?P0=E1&part_number=D6DAXLL,D5282LL,D6DB5LL,D6DBDLL,D53KKLL&catalogLocale=en_US&Locale=en_US&country=USA&PT=html&S_TACT=none&S_CMP=none IBM Informix Dynamic Server Enterprise Edition Unlimited Processor License + SW Maintenance 12 Months (D6DAXLL) 50,000 Oracle Database Enterprise Edition - Processor Perpetual 40,000 . Plus 22% 12 Months support is 48,800.

IDS is 2.46% dearer. However, IDS wins by nearly 30% in the local list price!
