Compared to the hardware required to run a PDS, yes, absolutely. "Expensive" is relative.

And like I've said above, a Raspberry Pi with an NVMe drive is surely a long ways off from Bluesky's own relay. It's good enough for personal needs, not for any sort of production use.

I'd appreciate specific corrections, so that I (and anyone else reading these comments) can be better-informed.

(EDIT: my apologies for the previous version of this comment, which might've come across a bit hostile. That ain't my intention.)
