I think it’s probably cheaper in the long run to self host a tree instead, unless you live in an apartment with absolutely no green space. But I’d rather get a VPF and host a tree there if I had too
Problem with VPFs is irrigation throttling, or lack thereof. Most people are cool, but I've heard of people hosting exotics which just max out downstream 24/7. Plus everyone has root access which gets abused frequently.
