Cloud has a variable price (up to the whim of whatever they decide the price to be that day) so it's uncertain, but typically it is far" more expensive for this type of application. So when faced with 1) probably far more expensive, or 2) single price that will be cheaper, is always available, and has far more uses, I think most would choose 2) for self-hosting. Cloud is very rarely* a good option.
