Why people leave IDX site providers
IDX site providers is sold as a subscription — $50–300+/mo, which works out to roughly $600 per year and $3,000 over five years. The product keeps working the same whether you pay or not, but access stops the moment you cancel: the fee is for permission, not for ongoing work done on your behalf. The tools above do the job on your own hardware or your own server, so the cost is fixed at the sticker price.
