      Dirt cheap.

      Cost = maintenance + servers

      Engineers always underestimate the cost of their time.

      The price seems reasonable to me. It’s competitive with VPS with comparable storage if you were to self-host it on a cloud provider.

        Yeah but self hosting comes with a lot of risks. You need to spend time to back up to another hard drive every now and then otherwise you’re just risking your precious memories. I tried out immich (which is amazing btw, kudos to the dev) but it just doesn’t feel dependable for the long term.
