Last time I checked, the Ookla Speedtest Custom software license
required for a local server installation (e.g. not using the public
speedtest servers) started at ~$2k/year. That does not include the
speedtest server hardware which may run you another $2k or more if you
want to meet the minimum recommended specs for a gigabit speedtest.
Perhaps an initial investment of $4k and a reoccurring $2k/year is
inexpensive for some, but I can imagine some folks will struggle to find
the value at that price point.
