well, there's a free tier that lets you keep 2 connections + irccloud's server. you just have to keep a web browser open somewhere to avoid the 2 hour timeout. but yea ive always felt their $5 / month plan was a little overpriced. for mobile irccloud's app is fantastic. i dont know if any of these solutions mentioned here even has one

You can accomplish the same idea with less features DIY with a low cost provider (like a $5 digital ocean box), which is what I have done for years.
I don't think the price point would change my mind either way, but sometimes that convenience is alluring.
