SLS block 1: 95t
SpaceX Starship: 100t+ (?)
SLS block 2: 130t
Saturn V: 140t

Starship 2 million USD per launch Vs SLS >2 Billion USD , Saturn V ~1.2 billion per launch inflation adjusted. Starship >100 metric tonne is baseline payload with full reusability. There are other configurations with more capacity.
