We pay like $200/mo for Cloudinary and we barely use any of the features. Primarily it's to serve up an image scaled to the right (single) size and occasionally I'll tweak the URL to add an effect, a tint, or something. This convenience is worth the money so far considering $200/mo is a rounding error in our monthly expenses but I could probably write a script to achieve similar ends in a few hours and upload to S3 instead..

Even if it's a rounding error, it sounds like you'd break even from having one of your developers do it within a month or two. Unless everyone truly has a months-long backlog of high-impact stuff to do it sounds like a good argument to do it some Friday afternoon.
