The subscription math
Cogsy — rented
All in one - $199/month (after 14-day free trial)
[1]
Break-even:
1 months
of Cogsy equals the one-time price.
Assumption: Page title mentions 'Plans Start At $49/Month' but only the $199/mo all-inclusive plan is detailed on-page - the detailed plan is cited.
Savings calculator
SaaS figures use the cited plan price above (see the sources below);
per-seat plans scale by the seat count from the same cited price. This is arithmetic, not a quote.

Why owning beats renting here
- One payment. No per-month, per-seat, or per-location fees — the license is perpetual.
- Your data stays on your server. Customer records never live in someone else's cloud.
- No plan ceilings. Records, users, and usage are limited by your hosting, not a pricing tier.
- It keeps working if the vendor doesn't. Self-hosted software can't be sunset out from under you.
Fair trade-offs: you host it, you back it up, and updates are yours to apply — see the
product page for honest limitations.
