What’s the purpose of paying a relay?

How many spammers do you think will pay? Not many, so your chances of receiving spam from from a paid relay are way less than from free ones.

I see. So the higher the fee, the lower the spam?

Nostr Plebs has made roughly 1M sats over the past few days from spammers. Spammers will pay.

Sure, but much less. So it's easier for an admin to stay on top of.

And the financial incentive for the relay runner to keep it clean should also help.

Time is a limited resource, and you are right, people will be willing to pay to get some of that time on their spam/product/idea/whatever.

Increase prices?

Nah!

Do you think is a solution to spamming? My feeling says no.
