Costs are kept low for this reason.
コストが安くて済む。
’安くて済む’ indicates an ongoing element of time, so I think a sentence which includes the word 'keep' is more accurate. Here are my suggestions:
'This keeps costs low.'
'Costs are kept low for this reason.'
'For this reason, costs are kept low.'
Good luck! Hope this helps...

Accordingly, costs can be kept to a minimum. / Accordingly, it is possible to minimize costs.
I am assuming a business context. If so, please consider my suggestion.
安くて済む literally means it "is possible to get by with low costs" but in English this sort of fuzzy phrasing comes across sounding weak. In business it is more common to say clear phrases such as "cut costs" "keep costs down" "lower costs" or "keep costs to a minimum"
"Keep costs to a minimum" fits here because 安くて済むimplies that it is possible to achieve the goal with higher costs, and there might be a range of price points, but the goal is accomplished 安くて. What is the point of lowering the costs unless you're going to do it as efficiently as possible? Therefore, "keep costs to a minimum" is commonly used in English business communication. If you disagree with this interpretation, the next candidate is "costs can be kept down" but I would avoid this passive phrasing if possible here.
I would be careful with このため as sometimes it is awkward to translate without considering the previous sentence. I chose "accordingly" because I use this word a lot in business texts, but "for this reason" is fine also.
