In home daycare centers have very competitive rates. I have found them to range anywhere between $80 to $170 per week.
Depending on which one you go with, you can get a good babysitter or an excellent preschool. I have just found an excellent program where my little boy is thriving!
I prefer the in-home in our case.

I took my son out of a center based daycare in Plano and placed him in the best in home daycare in Little Elm and I'm saving $40 a week, plus annual registration and supply fees. The BEST decision I've ever made and he's thriving, learning so much and very happy!

Prices in DayCare are going to be higher usually...though that doesn't make much sense to me. I would pay more for the lower ratio & more personalized care. I am thinking about keeping children in my home PT and I am trying to set my rates right now.
You might also miss out on supply/registration fees for in-home care?!
