Overview
A local machine must stay powered. A hosted server may be less visually transparent to a beginner.
Subscription access can still have usage windows or credits. A fallback provider adds another account and authentication path. A repair agent is useful, but it is not a substitute for careful permissions or verification of consequential actions.
The main cost risk is unattended pay-per-use execution. Do not begin with broad recurring jobs and unrestricted API billing before observing how often the workflows run and how much work they perform.
