For people like me that already rent a VPS for their mail and website the marginal cost is $0 except for the time it would take for me to perform the installation and setup.

If the system is good and stable then the "cost" of the time that I would spend installing it on my server would be close to $0 when divided over the amount of time I use the software in the future.

I think another plus of buying their service is your supporting development of the software and saving yourself time, while a critical piece of your security software remains open source.
