Does anyone here use a decent free plan for hosting Nextcloud online? Or is it really worth paying or selfhosting? Thanks :)

Well someone has to pay for the server, the power, the storage, the network, etc. So if you find something free it will be very limited.

More importantly, if you find something free, expect it to be from a very sketchy company. You should be paying for something like this, and you should go through a company that you TRUST.

As Chris said, yet if you absolutely cannot afford anything then there is /e/ foundation and disroot. Apps will be limited and/or connectivity slow!
