I can’t speak to all situations but assume that there’s a cost for both. The vCloud Director Jumpstart is geared more to training. The vCAC is where VMware Professional Services will come in and get you up and running quicker with vCloud Director than you could do it on your own. While vCloud Director can be used as a Lab Manager replacement it’s definitely a more complex solution to setup, configure and maintain which is probably why VMware has put together the vCloud Automation Center Accelerator Service (vCAC) and the vCloud Director Jumpstart. Current customers are not obligated to rip and replace their Lab Manager solution with something else but not having support for a product that could be running a large environment of important virtual machines may pose a big risk. vCloud Director offers many of the same features as Lab Manager but gets much deeper into Cloud Computing and Infrastructure as a Service ( IaaS). VMware has positioned its vCloud Director product as a potential replacement for Lab Manager.
Hopefully this news doesn’t come as a shock, especially if your currently using Lab Manager.

For those of you who are still using vCenter Lab Manager the time is growing near till it’s End of Life (EOL).
