The DTZ has a published price here
The Evangelisches Bildungswerk states €130 for the DTZ, and free for people who previously attended a BAMF integration course. That transparency is unusual - most centres make you ask.

German exam centres in Duisburg
Duisburg is a practical city for the integration-course exams: the DTZ runs monthly with a published fee, and the Leben in Deutschland test is open to external candidates for €25. Ordinary telc exams are thinner on the ground, and the biggest centre only runs A1 to B2 for groups.

Booking in this city
What is different about Duisburg
Leben in Deutschland without the course
The LiD test costs €25 for external candidates who do not want to attend the orientation course. If you need it for a settlement permit and already have the German, that is the cheap route.
In-person registration is the norm
Both the Bildungswerk and inlingua require you to register in person, and inlingua takes payment in cash or by EC card at the counter. Budget a trip before the trip.
General telc is limited
The Bildungswerk runs telc A1 to B2 only for groups of ten or more, and inlingua covers B1 and B2. For other levels, KS++ or a centre in Essen or Düsseldorf is the realistic option.
