Both options can cost the same, or one may be cheaper than the other, depending on what and how you build.
This is a vague answer to an equally vague question.
A modern prefabricated house that meets the latest technical standards and is not built cheaply can sometimes cost more than a solid masonry house. However, the price is also influenced by factors such as how much work you want to do yourself. With solid construction, you can contribute more self-performed work than with a prefabricated building.
The advantages and disadvantages of both construction methods have been discussed often enough, and depending on whom you ask, you will get one answer or the other.
If you don’t understand anything better after my answer, it is because your question cannot be answered clearly.

Is it possible to generally say how the price difference between a prefab house (wood) and a solid construction (masonry) will be?.. Svenja .. what am I supposed to answer to that? .. I'll try to be general with quite a bit of ambiguity .... a wooden house from "a" prefab manufacturer is 5 times more expensive than a solid house ...But you can only compare if it’s an equal-to-equal comparison.
You get three offers for solid construction and three for prefabricated houses, then compare the specifications of the construction services, checking for items that are either vaguely described or omitted. You request this information from the construction companies and have your offers clarified. Only then can you compare a green apple to a red apple. Anything before that is just comparing random fruits.
If you don’t want or can’t do any work yourself, a prefabricated house can be a good alternative. Many construction steps are already completed indoors in a dry factory hall, measured precisely with computers, and if you’re lucky, there is even a quality control process. As a layperson on a construction site, many things are difficult to assess. I have visited several masonry shell constructions and, as a homeowner, often had questions about whether something was done correctly.
A high-quality prefabricated house will probably be more expensive than solid construction. At least that was the case for us. The offers from the solid construction companies were all somewhat cheaper, but for very personal reasons, we decided on the prefabricated build and have not regretted it so far. Our house was built in November 2012.
