Typically the paid compilers come from trusted companies that have a good reputation of producing quality products. Such as Microsoft with Visual Studio. Granted, Microsoft offers plenty of ways to get VS for free so not always needed to buy it.

| I've heard only compilers > 1000$ dollars are good. I'm using gcc, what about it?

Nothing wrong with gcc. Everyone has their own preference. For me, all of my development is for Windows based things, so I stick with Visual Studio.
