I am ok with phoenix and breez, but I want to move to Zeus and Blixt too. The worst part for me about having your own node is you have to run it continuously and with a reliable connection. I know there are watchtower things but I need to study about it. is it cheap?

A bit, that's why I'm using Blixt as a backup when I'm travelling.
is it cheap?
Running your own node? It has some initial hardware setup costs, but then no more middlemen, and you can even run your own bank or act as Uncle Jim for your family and friends 👀 ( I'm using Umbrel )
I'd recommend trying Blixt first, low cost starting fun, and it's a really cool phone node; But keep that in mind: Blixt is new, good to experiment and learn while it is maturing.

ah sorry I mean if is it cheaper to use watchtowers that check if your node goes offline to avoid risks. I know they exist but I don't know how it works yet I guess I will follow your advice and try Blixt first :) thanks!
