Twenty seats on Notion is $4,800 a year. For a wiki. Fifteen seats on Calendly is $2,160 a year. For a booking page. Per-seat pricing charges you for hiring, and the software never changes. Outline, Cal.com and n8n do the same jobs, self-hosted and open source. On Elestio each one runs on its own fully managed VM: 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, automated backups, SSL and updates included, patched every Sunday. Three tools, $48 a month, no seats to count.
