I offer another way to think about how you spend your money — why would you pay more to Google over MZLA or another smaller company?
If you're looking best value for your dollar, you cannot beat the scale Google operates and the prices they offer, unless you are another company the size of Google. If you want alternatives from smaller companies more aligned with your interests, you should expect them to cost the same if not _more_. Someone has to pay for it!
