Submersible pumps generally cost more to replace than jet pumps, since the whole assembly has to come out of the well casing.
A deeper well means more pipe and wire to pull and replace, which adds labor time.
A larger household or higher water demand may require a more powerful pump.
If the pressure tank is also old or waterlogged, replacing it at the same time is usually more efficient than doing it separately later.
Older wiring or a control box that also needs updating adds to the job.
A well house that's difficult to reach with equipment can add time to the job.

A repair often makes sense if the pump is relatively new and the problem is isolated to one component — a pressure switch or check valve, for example.
Replacement usually makes more sense if the pump is already near the typical 8–15 year lifespan, has failed outright, or if repair costs start approaching a meaningful fraction of full replacement cost.
Symptoms that might mean repair is still an option.
