The website-cost question
Which part of StyleSeat do you actually need?
A useful tool may be worth keeping. If a website, form or portal is a separate line on your bill, check its full cost, ownership and exit terms before changing anything.

Practical guidance, not a promise of a cheap or maintenance-free replacement.
