Dry ice is generally more expensive than regular ice, but it delivers significantly better performance. It remains much colder for longer periods and sublimates directly into gas, leaving no liquid residue. This makes dry ice especially useful for applications that require consistent low temperatures and a dry environment, such as shipping perishable goods, medical transport, or industrial cleaning.
