If anything it should cost x gralats per x kb over a specific size. Gifs themselves aren't problematic, it's any image that's large in filesize. 1) It takes occupies more memory, though that's not a big deal these days and 2) it requires more bandwidth to send to down. Two is the bigger issue, especially since flash clients and some android users don't cache images and download them every time they play.
