Dude- I refuse to pay 13 dollars A MONTH, just to sext a robot.
(ok context cus what i just said is wild) I roleplay with a character bot, not character AI but a lesser known one, I only do it cus I really enjoy writing and storytelling but not always can I do that with another person, so I just do it with a bot (no I dont sext the bot I just thought it was funny to say). It works great and has a lotta features, but bro- If I wanna use the other AI text models, it requires premium. I wasnt opposed to it till I saw the pricing. THIRTEEN WHOLE ASS DOLLARS A MONTH nahhh bro thats the same price as Discord Nitro, wtf- 😭 I still support them by buying “energy” or whatever but I am NOT paying no 13 bucks for that- jeeeesus. idk micro transactions used to be reasonable, but now its just- eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee…

Depends on the webapp, traffic, etc. I have an EC2 instance and my own domain that runs me a solid $7 a month. It’s just a tiny little web server. If your web app is structured in a way that the client does the processing, your hosting costs can be pretty cheap.
For instance, rather than editing a PDF on a server, if your web app provides all of the tools to edit the PDF in the client’s browser, the server doesn’t need to be particularly robust. Basically it just needs to hand out those tools to the client.
