Compare with
preislich vs finanziell
financial
'finanziell' and 'preislich' both have to do with money, but they look at different things. 'finanziell' means the general money situation, for example whether someone has enough money or whether something puts a strain on their finances. 'preislich' refers only to the price of a product, an apartment, a trip, or an offer. The words can be confused because both are connected to costs. In practical terms: for the financial situation of a person or company, you say 'finanziell'; when comparing prices, you say 'preislich'.
preislich
Maria findet das Hotel preislich in Ordnung, aber die Lage gefällt ihr nicht.
Maria thinks the hotel is fine price-wise, but she doesn't like the location.
finanziell
