You can get virtual server for $4/month. Installing proprietary software and registering to some service, that may "upgrade" to premium tier anytime, is pretty off-putting.

If they upgrade to premium tier, set up your virtual server then. Your total cost, $0 for the duration it's free + $4 * the rest is still lower than $4 * lifetime, and the cost for switching is only going to be marginal.

I get the thought, you can build something now that is guaranteed to have a fixed cost, or you can risk going with a free product that might surprise you, causing you to rush to replace the solution with a tight deadline.

Just look at all the people panicking with the free Google Workspace shutdown.
