Rent or own · 48 comparisons

Own it once, or keep renting.

Each page 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.
