The more expensive detergents are formulated to work against a broader range of things that dirty clothes.
For Purex, it's obviously formulated for certain people. Poor dirt and grass performance?
Well, if you're sitting in an air conditioned office all day in front of that computer, you hardly need Tide Ultra or Persil.
Purex is fine for the body oil and sweat of quarterly reviews.
Anyways, of the many "free" detergents out there I've tried, Purex free is the best for getting clothes odor free and fresh. Others like Seventh Generation leave a stuffy odor behind.
And, if you choose to use a lower end detergent like Purex, you can boost the performance in weaker areas (blood, grass) using additives like OxiClean Free powder and Clorox bleach free (both at Target).
After all, if you didn't just do a mud run, why keep flushing $$$ in expensive detergents down the drain when you're simply washing office clothes?
(On the other hand, if you're the natural type to wash cloth baby diapers, that's a whole bother story where bleach etc is going to be needed simply to keep the bacteria count down and washer clean.....)
The Free & Clear version is absolutely the best no-itch product IMHO - MUCH more gentle than the name brands although stain spotting is required. All of the above listed varieties have often gone on sale at the same price, and sometime a $1 off coupon is available, too. For washing cleaning cloths, dog/pet bedding, and scatter rugs, the $ store versions are just fine. Or try the above oxy version for $1 more.

Is it the lowest price for these? Thinking of getting cheap detergent for rags and cleaning microfiber towels. Don't see a point in using high end gentle ones on them.

The high end ones are usually much better quality such that you can use less. In essence you can use about 1/3 the amount of better detergent compared to this stuff. I'm not big on having multiple types of products that have specific uses. As Alton Brown says, multitaskers vs. unitaskers. Actually, I rarely use the recommended amount of high end detergent when doing my normal laundry. My clothes come out clean.
Just got a 3 month puppy. Never really cared about my detergent stock level until now. Gotta keep 2 bottles on deck. Doing loads almost every damn day 😫

It's pretty cheap and you don't have to buy a big bottle. You can't really get a much better deal per load without going to an even more no-name brand and/or buying a larger quantity at a time.
The Purex with Clorox 2 has the best cleaning power out of the entire Purex line if you need stain-fighting enzymes. Otherwise, if you are a desk jockey like me, the regular "Mountain Fresh" which is a bit cheaper per load works fine.
