comparatively expensive

As I understand it, that is what is meant here:

Peer comment(s):
neutral Anne-Marie Grant (X) : with this construction I think it would be 'comparatively more expensive'

I think both versions are correct - but I have to grant you (no pun intended ;-)) that mine is probably not the best solution.

Danke Nikos!
disagree Helen Shiner : This is not what is meant.//I don't think we have. Your suggestion translated back into GER is 'verhältnismäßig teuer' and not 'teurerer' which as Anne Marie has said is required. Even with the 'more' one would not arrive at a formulation used b

at a higher rate

Thanks, Steffen - which is what my suggestion means, but expressed as an EN-speaker would term it.
disagree Nikolaos Angelidis : sorry, but I think "rate" usually refers to a progression such as in-/decrease, a change and more often to interest rates. I would simpy say: Delivery in buckets would cost more.

As a native speaker I can confirm that it has various meanings including the one I ascribe to it. It can simply mean tariff, value, charge, cost - please consult OED.
