"It comes with a price"

In American English, we say "it comes with a price" usually with negative implications to mean that something is done or achieved with some sort of undesirable cost or consequence.

Is there a expression in Spanish that conveys the same?

"aparejado"... interesting ... "it comes with a coupled/attached cost"

But... sometimes, "viene con premio" means something different.
For example: "María se casa con 'premio'" means "María is pregnant".

My grandmother sometimes says things like that.
