That depends on the plan you get. For basic cable the cost is about 35/month, but then there are incentives and discounts to lower that cost. Dish network starts off at about 30/month, and then the prices go up based on what channels you choose, so in that sense Dish can be more cost effective. However most cable companies offer package bundles with phone and internet service and if you take one of those bundles, cable service works out to be more cost effective.

DISH Network packages tend to cost about three times that of standard cable services offered from a traditional cable company. However, the DISH prices are competitive with upgraded cable packages.

This varies as the two are in competition with one another. The best way to find out is to call them both and get a quote.
