Exchanges can charge high, like Binance that charge 0.0005 BTC ($19.5 if bitcoin price is $39000) as withdrawal high.
Binance has decreased bitcoin withdrawal fee to 0.0002 BTC which is around 7.8 dollars at the current rates.
Of course, it's still very high and they are charging extra fee.

The mempool is not congested at all. As hosseinimr93 commented already, the feerate is 1 sat/vbyte to get your transaction confirmed in the next block for now. With bitcoin around $39000, if the transaction is 1 input and 2 outputs, the fee should not be more than $0.05. You can use a wallet like Electrum that you can customize the fee but the fee should be low if estimated by the wallet.

If using a noncustododial wallet, the transaction fee should be low, or customize the fee.
If using an exchange or custododial wallet, the withdrawal fee can be very high.

So I've checked to see how much I'd pay in network fees, and the fee is too much.
Currently, even transaction with 1 sat/vbyte are confirmed very fast and you shouldn't have to pay a high network fee.
Are you sending bitcoin from your own wallet or a custodial service like an exchange? Custodial services usually charge a high withdrawal fee.

There's this guy which I need to send a payment to and he said he's only accepting payments through cash app. Since I said I was going to pay him using litecoin, he said he can receive bitcoin in his cash app account only. So I've checked to see how much I'd pay in network fees, and the fee is too much. I tried to search for an alternative, but couldn't find any. Can anyone help me think about something to help solve this issue?
