The vibe-coding part is most in discussion here, so it's easy to overlook the financial part.

I build small web applications for my personal needs all the time by just regular programming, and I'm saving so much money by using them and not some proprietary app. Not even mentioning the advantages that it is completely bespoke, runs local and gives me peace of mind data-wise.

Some wise man once said that personal computers are a bicycle for the mind. Programming your own programs is the most pure way you train on that bicycle.

I think it depends on the project size and how much your time is worth. Vibe coding might be able to save some time, depending on how well it can solve the problem without needing correction.
