Nothing under $10 with more than 200 lumens. The $13.99 one has 600 lumens. The Cree bulbs are $12.97 for 800 lumens which is typical for a 60W bulb. I think that is the big deal here. Not all LEDs are equal.

These are even dimmable. They look very good with good color. They are not as warm in color as the halogen canister lights I’m replacing.
