What you give up either way
- SOC2 and enterprise security assurances (SSO, role-based access, security reviews)
- White-glove AI Context Engine and any proprietary large-scale model tuning
- Included AI credits and built-in credit management
- Native desktop app, browser extension, and Figma plugin
- Large catalogue of native integrations and enterprise support (CSM, Slack channel, white-glove onboarding)
An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches Arcade, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
