Does it cost $20/month?
did you know that you can run your very own nostr relay on your current computer? windows, mac, and linux can all run this simple relay software from your system tray.
find the correct relay software for your system here:
https://github.com/CodyTseng/nostr-relay-tray/releases/tag/v1.6.0
after installing, add the relay ws://localhost:4869 to your relay configuration inside your favorite nostr client.
continue creating notes and sending zaps as normal. you'll now have a local backup of all of your content. that's it!

There is recent FUD of relays costing every nostr participant $20. Thank you for dispelling this.
