によって expresses cause or means in ordinary speech and writing, whereas に付き in its 'because of' sense is confined to formal notices.
ごとに is the plain way to say 'per/each', matching に付き's distributive 'per' sense but without its formal, business-document tone.
為(ため)is the common, everyday word for 'because of/for the sake of', while に付き conveys the same reason-sense but sounds official and written.
