What you give up either way

  • High-volume managed rendering infrastructure and priority render queues
  • Large catalog of pre-tuned art styles and dozens of curated voices out of the box
  • Integrated, polished editor UX and customer support
  • Built-in credit/accounting model and marketing features (affiliate program, trust signals)

An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches Blipix, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
