Backstage just raised prices again — still worth it for non-union actors?

Backstage went from $19.99/mo to $24.99/mo this month. That's a 25% increase. I've been on Backstage for 2 years. In that time I've booked maybe 6 gigs through it — total earnings around $8,000. So the ROI has been positive. But $300/year is starting to feel steep when half the postings are unpaid student films or "copy/credit/meals." For context I also use Actors Access ($2/submission, no subscription) and Casting Networks ($29.95/month — even more expensive). Is anyone finding good non-union work through other channels? I've been getting more leads through Instagram DMs and word-of-mouth lately than through any platform. Feels like the casting platforms are pricing themselves into irrelevance for non-union actors.
