Hello @banister,

When the Jitsi service was integrated into the Messenger, there were no cloud solutions like JAAS, as far as I remember, and much of it was free, even on the default server specified in the Messenger settings. From what I can see, JAAS is designed to relieve you from all the issues with setting up and installing Jitsi, and it also provides a full set of tools for configuring it through its own panel. This is likely why the price is higher. At the same time, you can try setting up and installing Jitsi yourself, which should be free. I think at that time, Jitsi Meet was the most suitable option since it was a more accessible solution. Currently, there are many other platforms that can also be integrated into the Messenger if desired.
