Dont think price is the best argument, given that they subsidize the hell out of it. You pay like 2400 a year and get a stupid amount of ai compute that would require a stupid expensive computer system, for cutting edge models that you don't even have access to.
So in terms of $/value, nothing beats these subscriptions at the moment.
There are a LOT of reasons to run models yourself, don't get me wrong. All i am doing is building open source public domain software anyway, so i am not bothered by most of those reasons
