Economy plus is just extra legroom (3-4inches or bulkhead ~more~ legroom).
Are you sure you're not asking about premium economy? Generally economy plus costs 29-299 more per leg(long haul would be 150-299). united also offers buyup to premium economy, as low as $300 . Premium economy is different (wider/recline/legroom/features) seat with different meal
I have the United Explorer card. Economy plus upgrade I think was around $300 and Premium economy was higher. I went ahead and paid to upgrade to Economy plus even through I am not a tall person but thought it might be more comfortable compared to economy seat.
