"Negligible" varies greatly from organisation to organisation. People tend to come to my consultancy with needs that'll cost them anything from a few hours a month and up of access to a devops resource. That tends to involve far smaller setups for cloud users than for managed hosting. How large the setup is before that point varies a lot by organisational maturity and what exactly they do, but that can typically reflect hosting costs ranging from a couple of thousand a month and up. But the biggest cost differential is the hosting itself. It's not unusual for a managed setup to cost half or less what the equivalent cloud environment does, for similar levels of resiliency, including the fully loaded cost of devops resources.
