Rent vs own · every figure read at the vendor, dated
Own it once, or keep renting — 49 comparisons.
Each page below puts one self-hosted app beside the subscriptions it replaces: the rented price as the vendor publishes it, the date we read it, the break-even in months, and the one-time price of owning the tool instead. No estimates, and no figure without a source link.
