You can run Alby Hub for free in different setups, nobody is forced to get the Alby Cloud subscription. We made all of these other free options. Also thanks for the feedback about being willing to pay a small fee for other options, but that is simply out of the roadmap for the time being, you are welcome to write the proposal in our feedback forum at
