These products are deeply needed, but they are gated behind Saas payments. And this requires significant trust of the provider, as they have visibility of all the financial records of the user.
My understanding is the need for recurring payments is the cost of data integration providers. This cost can be passed entirely to the user if run locally. I would suggest that the integration providers might want to fund such projects if they were Free and Open Source.
Build a stand alone binary that lets users import their own api keys and this product will survive a long time
think of it this way - if someone steals your iphone, and you lock it, does apple pop? No, apple sells you another one. locked devices are good for apple because it causes more demand.
