Mainframes are generally more expensive than minicomputers due to their larger scale, advanced capabilities, and higher processing power. They are designed for handling large volumes of data and supporting multiple users simultaneously, which contributes to their higher cost. In contrast, minicomputers, while still capable machines, are typically smaller, less powerful, and intended for less demanding tasks, making them more affordable.
