prose.sh is free. How is 29/y more affordable?

Free for as long as the maintainers feel like working on it and footing the bill.
What happens when the costs or maintenance require more money or time than they're willing to put into it?
After being burned by "free" so many times, I've grown suspicious of depending on anything like this where there is no obvious path to monetization.
I'm sure prose.sh is a lovely platform, but at least with $29/year I can see the means and motivation to keep it running.

#7How is it the best?
The biggest thing is, is this a sustainable price? And what if I want to move elsewhere?
WordPress is still pretty popular because you can pack up and take your WordPress content and data anywhere (either built-in export/import; or something like All in One Migration)

It's framed as a competitor to WordPress and Ghost. Prose.sh is neat, but this is its getting started page:
> To get started, simply ssh into our content management system
A blogging platform that is accessed by "simply" sshing in isn't in the same market as WordPress.

#9Wordpress.org is free.
WordPress.org doesn't offer hosting, and once you install it on a $5/mo VPS you're way past $29/yr.

#10I just finished migrating https://nostashapp.com
Into a serverless stack.
Literally I close the laptop 30 minutes ago. So something can still be a bit wrong.
Nostash cover a tiny market of note taking.
I wanted a space over the internet where I could write documents and have them available to anybody to read.
You can create documents, make them public, make them back private and just share the URL.
The stack is AWS Lambda and Dynamodb.
