I agree. It's not like this project is disrupting an overpriced product/SaaS.

E.g. Buffer charges around $50 per year per social media account, which gives you an unlimited number of collaborating user accounts. And their single user plans are even cheaper.

I don't see how self-hosting would be a worthy investment of your time/effort in this case, unless you are in some grossly mismanaged organization where you have several devops engineers paid for doing literally nothing.

$50 is a high price to ask, no? And I just looked it up, it's actually even more than that.

Consider having an account for each common social media platform, then multiply that for every project, that grows quickly.

I know solo bootstrappers who have 5+ accounts across platforms for one app, it's quite normal for B2C.
