Cost is really depends on how much you send. The more you send the more expensive it is.
A small cheap rocket could go to mars, (Falcon Heavy) but it would take a million launches to make a colony.
If a colony already exists and you just want to send people, you use a bus, not a taxi for commutes many people take. So starship (bus) would be cheaper because it is way bigger but takes more people.
