Are we looking at the same table? It says it's about cost in the left column. Or am I misunderstanding your post?

    Sorry re-reading my comments it's not super clear what I meant: nowhere else in the table do they take account for the 'hidden' on-going maintenance of looking after a server/self-hosting. So this is the only row where they address 'cost' and I just thought it's a bit optimistic to say replacing all of Spotify just costs a one time server setup and storage. I think you're saying this row was only meant to indicate financial cost and I agree it's basically accurate from that meaning. However this is only the 'initial' cost. For example a self-hosted server and storage will eventually have to be replaced whereas Spotify will just keep replacing their own servers and that's already baked into the price of your subscription (caveat: that Spotify price will rise over time).

    It's not a big point really, maybe I'm nitpicking.
