Per serving, Seafood Paella runs about 21% more expensive in United States than in Spain. The single biggest driver of that gap is Bomba rice, which is priced noticeably higher in United States — it accounts for roughly 100% of the total difference. Spain still holds a real edge, but home-cooking beats delivery in both countries either way.
