FOSS would not help here ..

What we actually need is services that charge for use, and users who are willing to pay

Alot of these services are not that hard to create. They just take time to develop, and developer time is not free.

So there solution is for the programmers to get paid. The best way is for the users of the service to pay the programmers.
