Google Adwords does not charge a fee in order to use the Google Adwords platform. You pay on a Cost Per Click basis, meaning you are only charged when someone clicks on a link in your ad and visits the website or landing page that is associated with that ad.

Be very cautious with Adwords, I tried it and it can become very expensive.

It can be very expensive and is not for every type of business. Google tries to promote to small business owners that it is a self service platform, it is not. In some ways it is more complex than seo and easy to lose lots of money if not setup and run correctly. With that said, advertising (and is=n some ways, affiliate marketing) is the only true way to really scale your marketing, which is why almost every brand, even if they started out organically, turn to advertising eventually.

Peter: I have only tested a few times, when Google has given out free trials / or adding extra ads for the campaign.

It totally depends upon the number of bids. If your competitor is bidding on the same as yours on high rate then google will show his Ad above yours.

That is only part of the case, Adwords uses Quality Score and Ad Rank to determine how you rank in the results, your bid is only one factor. An advertiser with a high Quality Score can outrank another advertiser even if they are bidding more.

Most ad platforms work in a similar fashion, pricing depends on competition and the quality of your ad campaign. You can usually get a better cost oper click on Facebook, though it is getting more expensive every month. Bing Ads charges the same as Google. LinkedIn's cost per click are pretty high, they have there's set as a min of about $2 regardless of competition. For most ad platforms, you get rewarded for running high-quality ad campaigns.
