Same, and it’s not only about the price either. I value stability and certainty that things I use and rely upon aren’t going to be shut down.
The actual monetary outlay is not even a factor most of the time. But identifying which tech companies are stable is a challenge.
I set myself a budget of $100/month of subscriptions. I decided if I stay under that I’m not going to stress about it. My bigger worry is more around longevity and a rug pull in the future (or a hack). But I have that same anxiety around self hosting as well, if something happens to a project and I need to migrate, or I get lazy about updates.
