What's the actual point of the paid product if I still have to host my own stuff?

Does it just manage things?

Is it actually open source with usable instructions, or is it magic like Superbase that requires digging through GitHub issues to find the secret truck to getting things to work.

How does it compare to Captain Rover ( which was awesome until it just stopped working one day, luckily my backup script captured my blog before this happened).

At this point I'll just give Render 7$ a month.

When it's 3am I don't want to figure this out by myself. In a Corp environment I'll let the dev ops team sort it out.
