So how much does it cost to run a site like this?

In the past they claimed up to $6k a month because their code is shit and they pay Microsoft license fees. Ruqqus is $300 to 700 a month. SaidIt is around $80 a month for the same traffic as Ruqqus.

Wait, isn't Saidit much bigger than Ruqqus?

As of a few months ago Ruqqus passed SaidIt in the rankings, but they're awfully close: https://old.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/hi97fz/list_of_active_reddit_alternatives_v5/
