Here in St. Pete I can get a piling installed for $300, material and labor.

I use the black "plastic" wrap, called piling wrap. My guy cleaned the pole, applied the wrap, labor and materials for $30 a piling, primarily for bug protection. They still get barnacles, but a bit easier to knock off.

Would suspect the SnapJackets would get barnacles, too. However for the price of a Snapjacket, I could replace 2 or 3 pilings.

And FWIW, I just replaced 9 of my pilings and the decking that was approaching 30 years old. WAY better cost effectiveness just replace the piling, using treated 2x6s and the wrap. Total bill for that, including the wood decking, and new supports for a 12 x 18 deck was $1800.
Pilings here in the PNW and specifically the Washington side of the Columbia River are about $5,000 per steel piling.

When replacing or a new piling it must be steel. This seems to be a little more cost effective.
