Choosing ngrok subscription for using Google Calendar API

I want to be able to expose my local machine address to the internet to be able to work with:

So that, I need some tool that will expose my local machine URLs to the Internet so Google will be able to use this web hooks.

I found that ngrok with basic(5$) subscription works for me. Free versions doesn't work since I need SSL as it's required by google:

This is your Webhook callback URL, and it must use HTTPS. Note that the Google Calendar API will be able to send notifications to this HTTPS address only if there is a valid SSL certificate installed on your web server. Invalid certificates include: • Self-signed certificates. • Certificates signed by an untrusted source. • Certificates that have been revoked. • Certificates that have a subject that doesn't match the target hostname.

The question is whether there is something else I haven't taken into account that will force me to buy more expensive type of subscription? Maybe some specific requirenments from Google that basic subscription can't work with.

Basic $5 subscription works perfectly. It fits all Google's requirements + it provides static URLs that make it possible to receive PUSH notifications even when you restart your ngrok or computer.
