Compared to Arch Linux then yeah you'll save a ton of money almost guaranteed. But something like Windows? Good luck trying to calculate that.
I wouldn't even deploy Arch in production as its not designed to be stable.
I mean you'd have to be pretty insane to use Arch on an actual server.
That or a masochist.
I don't really subscribe to Arch or Debian being better or worse than each other. I encounter issues just as frequently on both. Maybe it's a little harder to do things in Debian because the repositories don't update as often but the AUR is where a lot of important stuff is and that's a pain to deal with too.
Either way it's better than using Windows.
