If you have a drill, the brush is only $30 at Home Depot. Took me all of 15 minutes to clean mine out (about 25ft of solid vent pipe), including disconnecting one section at a 90deg bend

I do have a drill and thought about that, but I also just have pretty bad allergies and my vent is def full of a few years of cat and dog hair. I know I messed up as a home owner, but I figured I’d have someone else do it to clear it out for the first time then be a bit more fastidious in the future. I may yet just buy the attachment though since it seems like there aren’t a ton of reputable services

It's super easy and quick to do it yourself. My husband cleaned ours in the fall and it took about 20 minutes total. Plus, with the attachments being less than $50, it will save you lots to do it yourself.

It really is simple. Just turn the dryer on and run the brush from the outside. It blows it all into the yard.
