The very last thing I want out of my automation tools is SaaS. Not even if it’s free.

Ansible, bash, python etc. stuff I can control, self host and move around at will. Even selfhosted gitlab ci makes me wary

Tired of getting held hostage by all these crappy SaaS that start of ok and then squeeze

At least for $30,000 per year you know they are also taking you for a ride, not just locking you in. I’d personally rather hire an assistant than pay $3,000 per year to have my lights turn off when I’m on a call.

Can you even imagine putting a price of $3000 per automation on a glorified IFTT? It doesn’t matter how much better it is.

Yes if it saves you paying cybersec salary for a watch, cut, and paste alert jockey.

But is there any reason you’d need this as opposed to any of the other options that cost less than 1/10th the price? My point isn’t that these apps aren’t awesome and worthwhile to use to automate things. Of course they are. But this price seems absurdly out of line with the market and value.
