Is ceramic tint worth the extra cost?

Yes.

We installed Saint Gobain's Vortex IR tint on my daughter's 2011 LX I-4 sedan. It does exactly what @Ash051 says it does.

In short, worth it.

Yes. Typical dyed film tint does not do anything for heat, it just makes it darker.

My experience with ceramic tint mirrors those above. My cabin still gets hot (black leather...), but it takes considerably longer for that to happen, and the A/C doesn't work nearly as hard to cool it down.

I paid an even $500 for LLumar ceramic on all the glass except the sunroof, which I did not tint. The windshield has the Air 80 clear tint, the front windows have 30%, the rear windows and back glass have 20%.

Ceramic tints marketed by companies whose parent companies provide industrial coatings (Llumar, BASF, Saint Gobain, 3M, etc.) are legit, industry-leading products. This is one instance where getting the product from a company with a worldwide reputation makes sense.

Or you can get nearly-clear 3M "Crystalline" tint that blocks 99% of the sun's heat-producing rays: infrared.

I'm sorry. I meant that for my duplicate post, but I see my edit looks like I said to delete your post. I meant for mods to delete my 2nd post there. I had bad phone service when trying to respond to you and somehow ended up with two posts. I couldn't remove it.
