Yes, costs can add up. But it’s also about investment / return. Saving $X if it’s less effective a/o costs you $Y, then it might not be the savings it appears to be.
It’s similar to DOGE. DOGE is about Efficiency. But it should have started with Effectiveness. Doing something (financially) efficient doesn’t mean it’s effective.
In short, list some alternatives a/o what you’re giving up by going free would be helpful. For example, Appwrite or Firebase as different (and free tier) backends. Each has their + and -.
So much true.
I have been a developer in past so I understand my bias towards convectional frameworks. For me, the biggest dealbreaker for Replit was the scale cost.
I the technical debt that I was incurring per project. It is still my go-to option for prototyping and quick tests but this was just the regular stack I am using to ship stuffs.
Also, yes, there a a lot of alternatives (great ones) that I missed and understand that the list is not complete.
Would love to know what stacks you use so I can also try them out.

Thank again. I will be checking these out.
