The model behind all buddybots is that the developers will create the framework, then leave the community to make specific routines or profiles. Granted, this works a lot better when there's a large, active community like with Honorbuddy, and less so when its just a few overworked, volunteer devs like here or Exilebuddy.
I disagree pretty strongly on the combat routine aspect however.
First, it is literally an unzip/extract to get a new routine (although I will grant that you have to grab one additional file hidden in the thread for magitek, since its an abandoned routine).
Second, the routines here are very powerful. Other bots that provide gui routine creators are limited by the gui in the conditions it can use. Routines here may be more difficult to create, but they're much more versatile in deciding ability usage. Besides, the work is already done for you in routines like Kupper and Ultima, although it wouldnt hurt to have some basic programming knowledge so you can make minor tweaks.
Third, while there may have been some comments made about microtransaction features, to my knowledge nothing like that has actually happened. You can, ofc, donate to support the devs whose work you're using, but thats optional, and nowhere are you required to pay aside from subscription. On that note, I feel like you're doing something wrong if you're paying month by month, unless you're not planning to play for long. As I mentioned earlier, one of the big draws of buddybots is the lifetime sub, which few other (major) bots offer. I've been using RB for the better part of a year, and while certainly I wish it could do more, in terms of the cost its paid for itself many times over.
