Price the operation, not just the subscription.

Choose from the current capacity and feature table, then price the complete production workflow.

Divide a stated budget by a stated set of shows; do not confuse that allocation with a vendor’s billing method.

Budget account delivery using observed host measurements, not subscriber counts or hoped-for growth.

Compare the saving with uncertainty about workflow fit, not just the annual-equivalent price.

Production volume and audience delivery are different; model both before comparing host prices.

Count who needs access and how access ends; a private feed is more than another public show.

Keep production, distribution and people costs visible so the hosting comparison stays proportionate.

Decide who owns the continuing relationship before deciding whose card pays the hosting bill.

A useful quote names the plan, capacity, billing period, required features and unresolved exceptions.
