That’s less than the monthly salary of 10 software engineers, and assuming they pay API prices, probably earns itself back in about a year.
Having said that, I don’t think it’s all that tempting for companies at all, considering this whole market is developing rapidly and it’s nearly impossible to predict where we’ll be at in a year or two.
The hardware requirements aren't evolving and the local models have only been improving.
It's not like you'd lose capabilities, if anything this solution just gets better with time.
