Yes, it's a big difference in price. I backed Pillars of Eternity 2 via fig and IIRC the backer tiers started at $10 whereas investors started at $1000/share.
If memory serves the shares were also just shares (with a copy of the game included obviously). If you spent $1000 as a backer instead of as an investor you got a whole lot more rewards for your money.
