Verdict: mid-priced, with one big choice at the end
Xander costs 485 diamonds, second in Advent No. 3 after Max at 629. The cost is spread fairly evenly: 166 in Season 1, 187 in Season 2 and 132 in Season 3. Only one choice crosses 100, and it's the last one.
Where the diamonds go
The route starts in Season 1, Episode 4 with "And… does it have anything to do with how we met?" for 29. Season 1, Episode 10 is the priciest in that season: "Say I'm going with Xander." for 50 and "Respond playfully." for 23. All 3 free steps are in Season 1, in Episodes 6, 9 and 11.
Season 2:
- Episode 6: "Xander." — 67.
- Episode 7: "Make Xander talk." — 46.
- Episode 1: "Help him." — 45.
Season 3, Episode 9 has both of the last steps: "Look at Xander." for 31 and "Of course we'll stay, Maylee!" for 101.
How I'd play it
Everything before the finale is under 70 diamonds, so I'd pay as I go and keep only Season 3, Episode 9 on a separate save slot for Diamond Rush. That makes the route 384 out of pocket. For comparison, Max is 629 and Zane 441.
