The full price of ~12 USD/mo is a non starter in many parts of the world.

The self-hosting options are free, at least. The difficulty is not many people have always-on computers on which they can host their own node.
Yeah, and since both Umbrel and Start9 are quite expensive machines, paying monthly for the hosting service could be worth it.
You can install umbrelos on your machine.
I've found it to be incredibly difficult to keep a self-hosted node online all the time. It's always something that fails- power, internet, software updates, etc. It takes a huge amount of time and effort just to keep it going.
That being said, Alby Hub is extremely easy to run. Self-custody for the win. π
The unlimited money printing fiat system we live in has made everything so expensive. The employees have to be paid an expensive wage so they can afford their ridiculous mortgage to pay for their overpriced tiny bad quality home/condo/apartment & 50k car.
That translates into high subscriptions for customers in almost all services.
I find all these services too expensive. I do say they have excellent workers. They are intelligent and have great talent and their servers are always online with no downtime.
It's just too expensive for small business to afford.
Eventually Bitcoin will destroy this fiat system and there will be no such thing as mortgages which will allow employees to take a huge wage cut. Which will bring down the prices of almost everything. Mortgages is a slavery system that hurts every single things on earth.
Until then I'll continue to host my own node and host my own things.
Yeah, there should be a cheaper intro level. Theyβre doing a 3 month 50% off special but if youβre not using it actively itβs as pricey as Netflix.

Why canβt they take a cut on transactions like example trading exchanges do?
All the self-hosted options are free:

Maybe many parts of the world just need to rise to the challenge.
Btw, did you try out Isolated NWC Connection already? It effectively might create subaccounts, so you could share your node liquidity and fees with your friends, family, community!
