Cabin filters vary considerably in price in part because some are like a cheap furnace filters, some have an active charcoal coating and some have a very fine pore size (HEPA). Add to this is the dealer level of greed. I did discover that my Mazda dealer had their cabin filter price within a few cents of a WIX so good for Mazda. ~ $17.50 and it fit perfectly.
cabin air fillter $24 !!!

Paid $12 for mine. I have to take it out and spray disinfectant inside the "dirty" side of the filter housing.

On the Altima it is a big PITA. I have done it on two 07-12 Altimas so far and I don't think I want to do that job again.

It seems as if all the prices on cabin filters are fetting a little silly.
I changed the CAF in my Tribute a few months ago, and it would have been the first time it has been done in a while, it was crooked in the holder, and packed with dirt.
Paid $24 for a Charcoal-activated Fram CAF, and popped it in fairly easily. For simplicity, I will most likely change it once a year in the spring. Not too bad.....

I have CAF's in my two Fords... the Focus one gets dirty the fastest. The list on them is 25$, but the auto parts store usually sells them for about 14$
