You're only looking at the upfront cost as more. What about the cost of migrating from one Google ADHD fueled messaging solution to the next. When I had my Nexus 4, 5 and 6, I was all in on Hangouts. I saw it as a glimmer of hope when Google finally started merging Hangouts and SMS only to have it ripped apart. I went from Google Voice, SMS and hangouts to pretty much Google Fi + Hangouts and then back to Google Voice, SMS, Hangouts and looking forward to Allo.. Duo.. plus whatever crap Google came up with.. I eventually moved to an iPhone SE and my life became more simple which allowed me to focus on the things I enjoyed vs dicking around with Google and Android nonsense.
