I pay for a bunch of services but if you add them all up then you get less than the cost of two engineers. As good as my engineers are, I don't believe that two engineers could produce the same amount of value for the company in the same time-frame (including all the maintenance).

There are times where we opt for google sheets rather than pay for a service but we never build anything ourselves if there is something we can buy / rent out there.
