> it’s nuts not to just pay the cheap toll If I have 100 devs that's $12,000/year (ignoring any bulk discount), right? Are you saying that in a company with 100 developers they cannot spare enough time to run their own server cheaper than that? Additionally, while the amount is 'cheap' in the isolated sense, when you start adding all those 'cheap' services together they quickly add up and suddenly your per-dev costs start getting out of control. In all cases you should consider the value of the service being provided. While I love ngrok, the functionality can easily be replaced for most use cases and move you from a per-dev cost to a relatively (yeah, large numbers of users will cause server scaling/cost changes) fixed cost instead. Edit: Just to add on, $10/month is more than I pay for Gsuite or Jira on a per dev basis. The Ngrok pricing is drastically off base IMHO.
