Nice to see LCC coming to Centroamerica, but for such short flights that's still a LOT of money.

Pullmantur is a good alternative (SAL-GUA/TGU) - the seats are unbelievably comfortable (although slightly more expensive than KingQuality/TICA).

Former GF used to use Ticabus from MGA to SJO, but even that is a rather long journey
I've only used Hedman Alas in Honduras.

Still, this small hops can cost as much as US$ 770 in the other carriers... And that's in coach
