> maybe only 20% higher depending on what service you take

For higher-end board that seems likely. For cheap hobby-grade boards just the job fee[1] is more than 10 boards delivered is from JLCPCB.

That said, thanks for reminding me. Will definitely compare next time I need boards.

The job fee seems to include shipping, which makes it more reasonable. But Aisler's "estimated dispatch" for the budget service is Jan 26. That's 10 business days + shipping, making it not very competitive with JLCPCB's 10-15 business days including the slowest/cheapest shipping.

Express service adds ~20 EUR, roughly the same cost as picking DHL express delivery on JLCPCB.

Just checked myself using a board I already had manufactured, and can confirm it's a lot higher than JLCPCB or PCBWay.

Maybe for rapid prototyping it is okay, but at scale, to make one board is more than the entire selling point of the whole device.
