I can't speak for the frozen, but for the fresh chilled, I think that it is more expensive. You have to buy the kits which sell for around $50.00 each give or take. You have to pay a vet to collect which is around $75.00. Then you have to pay for shipping which is about $40.00. Then you have to pay your vet to inseminate the bitch....and I don't know what that costs....and THEN you still have to pay the stud fee and you will need to do two separate collections, shipments and inseminations. I don't know exactly you can figure in the risks involved in shipping your bitch, but there would be a certain amount of risk involved there, I think. Myra Savant
