That seems super expensive, and/or some bad math like 4 users on a paid server.
Edit: gets accused of gaslighting by OP... Stay classy! Still Super expensive BTW.
The math is right there at the post. 8 people working at $10000/month, for 55000 registered users.
Mind you, 10k per month per person is actually still less than the actual cost for a professional admin. You can argue whether they really need that many people, but please don't question "the math". It starts to look like gaslighting.
In the US maybe. Even in western Europe, 10k $ or € is a buttload of money per month. Something like 4x the net salary of a backend developer here in Belgium where I live.
Add taxes, employee benefits, mandatory health insurance (like in Germany), pension and so on. Employees' total cost is easily 2x their gross salary.
When I was in devops, my first year was 115k (us) so I think your spot on.
