What you give up either way
- Managed private dedicated server (they provision and isolate the server for you)

- Real-time monitoring UI and built-in file browser
- Email support and team workspace features
An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches exoclaw, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
