Advice on how I can reduce cost

Hello everyone it's my first time to deal with publishing a web application with arcgis feature, so please give me advice. I have done some research and found that there are a few free services such as http://www.arcgis.com/explorer/ or https://www.arcgis.com/home/. I know there are limitations to what I can do with these free services. But if it meets my needs, I really want to stick to it just to save cost since my company is still in testing phase. So here are the requirements:

1. I need a base map

2. I need feature layer

3. I need popup infowindows

I got a developer did the development work for me. And in his code, I can see these:

require([

"esri/map",

"esri/layers/FeatureLayer",

"esri/graphic",

"esri/dijit/PopupTemplate",

"esri/symbols/SimpleMarkerSymbol",

"esri/symbols/SimpleLineSymbol",

"esri/symbols/SimpleFillSymbol",

"esri/tasks/FeatureSet",

"dojo/on",

"dojo/dom",

"esri/renderers/SimpleRenderer",

"esri/InfoTemplate",

"esri/geometry/Point",

"esri/geometry/Extent",

"esri/SpatialReference",

"esri/tasks/GeometryService",

"esri/tasks/ProjectParameters",

"esri/tasks/query",

"esri/symbols/TextSymbol",

"esri/layers/LabelLayer",

"dojo/_base/Color",

"dojo/domReady!"],

Based on my description, do you think the free service is enough to meet my needs? If not, do you have any suggestion for me on how I can save? Earlier today, I asked a question about this line:

geometryService = new GeometryService("http://sampleserver6.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/Utilities/Geometry/GeometryServer");

In production environment, it's not recommended that I use sampleserver. What other options do I have?

Thanks.
