I don't want to pay that THAT MUCH for something, when I can get similar op=
tions for less or for free.

Many compilers have a free version and charge for extras (tools, libraries,=
 bindings, analyzers, wizards, Database frameworks...) and with that free v=
ersion you can compile whatever you want and sell your software. Gnat Pro c=
harges for the basic compiler, and it is not cheap compared to others.

As toolchain, basic Ada compiler is far from other compilers.
