What you give up either way
- SOC 2 / formal compliance and enterprise security assurances
- Large catalogue of 5,000+ pre-built integrations

- Per-member feature gating, credits and usage limits managed by vendor
An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches Folk, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
