What's the difference between comparing a credit card on price versus on value?

Comparing on price simply means choosing the lowest annual fee, like the free Revolut Standard. Comparing on value takes into account what you get back: the AMEX Platinum costs €780 per year, but for a frequent flyer who regularly uses its 1,400+ lounges and free Privium Plus, that investment can easily pay for itself.
