Thanks, that's what i was thinking! The only counterargument i have is that the switching costs can be pretty substantial as you keep using more and more of their services so there are some traps to avoid there as you grow.
When you’re starting it doesn’t matter. After you reach profitability you can start worrying about stuff like that. Being dependent on a single platform is a good problem to have compared to being dependent on a job.
