Two are more expensive more than one?

Overall, Netics researchers estimated a yearly cost per user of
€530.38 over a five-year period for the open source software, 93
percent of which came from deployment costs.
I wonder what kind of cost there can be for free software other than
deployment costs --- the paragraph that immediately follows seems to
suggest that training of staff is included ind deployment costs:
By contrast, for Office 365, the cost was €197.49 a year. According to
the researchers, the lower figure is due to workers' greater
familiarity with a Microsoft working environment, and better
compatibility with different file formats offered by the proprietary product.
