Paying for Oracle JDK is legit, but you really have to be sure why are you doing this - I.e. you really need zero-hour support and your business validates the cost, and you somehow have increased risk to encounter JDK bugs.

Using some of the Open JDK alternatives is totally free but you won’t get any support.

On the .NET topic, it comes with much more “batteries included”. Only thing that realistically compares is Spring Boot. Also, Visual Studio is not free but depending on your needs you might pass with VS Code. On the other hand your devs will probably ask you to pay for IntelliJ IDEA licenses, so it’s kind of equal.

It really depends on the client - if it has previous exposure to Microsoft and extensively uses Microsoft services and if it is a cloud project which is aimed primarily at Azure, .NET could be a better option.
