the quality of the service in relation to the price you pay
Sorry for submitting the first answer in German - I didn't read the question properly (and have removed it now)!
If it's the title in a survey it probably means the relationship between the quality of the service and the cost - ie. the extent to which you get what you pay for.

| Thanks. That's very kind of you to put it in English. |
| Thanks you Catherine. Your explanation helps me to choose the approperiate Chinese equivalence of this term: 性价比 |
| Oops, my apologies. "Thank you", instead of "thanks you" |

Comment: "As it's in a survey, I believe **the quality of the service in relation to the price you pay** appears more "neutral", and this might fit the context.
Thanks everyone for your help!"

It's already a caption in a survey/poll, I took it that an explanation was wanted, not an alternative.
