Is it better to pay one hundred times as much for the program and have a lower fee for transcripts?

If your programme provides other benefits (alumni connections, education, an actual LEGITIMATE degree), then perhaps so, yes. Depends what you want out of your x100 programme.

But your (disingenuous) question is not nearly the gotcha you're hoping it is, because spending $600 for something with little/no value is not somehow given greater value simply because other people are spending $60 000 for something with some/little/no value.

Reminds me of late-night infomercials, and the clever psychology used to get you to buy their crap: some chintzy piece of jewelry or whatever is only $50, 'a $500 value - save $450!'
It plays on the hope that people will think 'oh great, I'll save $450 AND get a piece of jewelry - think of all the things I can buy with that $450!' instead of realising they haven't 'saved' anything; they've just spent $50 on something they don't need and 5 minutes ago didn't even know they wanted.
Even if some neighbourhood fella down the street bought the same jewelry for $500, if it turns out the jewelry is worthless, and/or you don't need it anyway, you're not ahead of your neighbour - now both of you have wasted money.

But unlike the jewelry, which is a 20 minute phone call to get, this 'degree' requires hundreds of hours of time.

I just don't see the point in spending even $600 (which for my country, is more than the average monthly wage), for something that appears worthless. It could be $1, and it'd still be a waste of money.

Spending 600USD and hundreds of hours of irreplaceable time of your life for a piece of paper, a piece of paper so worthless that even one of the two schools involved in this charade won't recognise it . . . how is any of this the 'better' option?
