Cheap to run as well as to buy initially, a Pi consumes a lot less
electricity than even a modern 'desktop' machine.  However as the Pi
gets bigger and PCs get smaller and more economicial the difference is
diminishing.  Unless you need the processing power of a Pi 4 then some
of the lesser versions maybe somewhat cheaper in the long term.

I'm still running a Pi 2B as my home LAN's DHCP/DNS server, it's quite
adequate for the job.
