$7.8 is pretty expensive when you can get a bluetooth mcu(in volume, from dialog i think) for $1.

Like we said earlier, you can choose between a raw chip (like the Dialog) and handle the antenna design and all the various governmental certifications and testing yourself ($$$)..or you can buy a precertified module that drops in and you're ready to go.

It depends what you can afford and what each path will save you in the long run.
