You do not have to buy the Extension Factory. Instead, it is fully integrated into SAP Cloud Platform and provides a central place to register and manage your SAP solutions. Using Extension Factory, you connect these solutions once to your SAP Cloud Platform global account. In addition, it helps developers to discover the APIs and events of those registered systems in a consistent manner so that they can easily develop event-triggered extensions and applications and access the APIs of all the systems they need.
