I ran Alby for a month, and there's no question it's a nice platform that makes running a node very easy. But when you tally the channel fees and subscription fee, it really only makes financial sense if you're transacting at least 100k sats per month. Even at 100k sats per month, you're effectively paying 20-30% in fees. For average users who are just zapping, a custodial solution makes a lot more sense. It's significantly less expensive, and lot easier.
