I just started to pay $9/mo for a tool that monitors a folder on an sFTP server for updates to a .csv, then parses the files and posts the data to a webhook.

At first I balked at that, and then realized I had no idea how to do that and it has worked flawlessly so far.

That is how I look at SaaS tools. If your hourly rate is greater than the months subscription it is worth it. In enterprise, just getting something hosted in a local server was hell, add in maintenance and the money is worth it.
