When it comes to businesses, the right answer depends heavily on what you are trying to achieve and what constraints you are working within.
**If your priority is minimising upfront cost:** then approaching businesses by starting with the most widely used option in your domain makes the most sense.
**If your priority is ease of maintenance:** then the calculus around online shifts significantly toward investing more in the initial setup.

Market conditions change faster than business plans.
