at cost of vs at the cost of

Both "at cost of" and "at the cost of" are correct, but they are used in different contexts. "At the cost of" is the more common and idiomatic phrase, meaning to achieve something by sacrificing something else. On the other hand, "at cost of" is less common and may be used in a more literal sense, referring to the price or expense of something.
