It is very common to use the word cheap. It is an informal phrase that means it is a low cost. There are times where it can also mean that the item is of a low or poor quality.
If the item is of a very high quality and you don't want to say cheap, you can say affordable.
You can also say:
That's a reasonable price.
It is not so common to say ' It is of a low cost.'
I hope that helps!

There are two ways to use the word cheap. On one hand, you have inexpensive or low cost. For example, "This is a cheaper version of Louis Vuitton." On the other hand, you have cheap as in not worth much. For example: I purchased a cheap bag from the supermarket and it broke within an hour of purchase. If you want to indicate that something is low-cost, you may use words like economical, reasonable, modest or cost effective. If you want to state that something is cheap as in not worth much, you can say that it is poor quality, substandard or inadequate.
cheapには二つの意味があります。まず一つ目は、安い、低価格という意味です。例えば、"This is a cheaper version of Louis Vuitton." 「これはルイヴィトンの安いものだ。」
もう一つは、そんなに価値がないという意味です。例えば、
I purchased a cheap bag from the supermarket and it broke within an hour of purchase.
スーパーで安いかばんを買ったけれど、買って一時間で壊れた。
もし、低価格ということを言いたいなら、 economical, reasonable, modest または cost effectiveという単語を使うことができます。安くて、買う価値のないものに対しては、 poor quality, substandard または inadequateという言葉を使うことができます。
