I would read it as a 60% saving. That's a very good one. Considering that this is a recurring cost and not a one time and it's proportional to their sales. Aka, they now will be able to provide their clients twice the amount of contents for the same price. At least in theory.

My thought was more timing - there’s so much that’s URGENT for a young startup, is cost cutting really urgent, something you have to do NOW, when the current savings are just $110/month? Part of what allows startups to survive is ruthless focus on the work that that’s most important today, and saving $110/month seems unlikely to be that. However, the blog post author responded, noting that this migration took only 1 weekend, and they like other aspects of Fly than just the cost. So fair enough, 1 weekend is a small investment, less than I expected, I would have guessed this took 2+ weeks.
