E.g. Buffer charges around $50 per year per social media account, which gives you an unlimited number of collaborating user accounts. And their single user plans are even cheaper.
I don't see how self-hosting would be a worthy investment of your time/effort in this case, unless you are in some grossly mismanaged organization where you have several devops engineers paid for doing literally nothing.
- bryanhogan 6mo ago$50 is a high price to ask, no? And I just looked it up, it's actually even more than that. Consider having an account for each common social media platform, then multiply that for every project, that grows quickly.
- m000 6mo agoYou are right. My memory failed me there. I should have done a quick lookup for the pricing. It's $120/year/account for multi-user setup, and $60/year/account for single-user. Which is still dirt cheap if you use social media professionally. E.g. what would $360 buy you if you try to do self-hosting? Maybe a day of work from a devops engineer to get this deployed for you?
