I'm heavily against both relying on free dependencies and going for the cheapest option.

If you can't put yourself in the shoes for a second when evaluating a purchase and you just braindead try to make cost go lower and income go higher, your ngmi except in shady sales businesses.

Server hardware is incredibly cheap, if you are somewhat of a competent programmer you can handle most programs in a single server or even a virtual machine. Just give them a little bit of margin and pay 50$/mo instead of 25$/mo, it's not even enough to guarantee they won't go broke or make you a valuable customer, you'll still be banking on whales to make the whole thing profitable.

Also, if your business is in the US, find a US host ffs.
