What you give up either way
- Product polish, UX refinements and cross-browser extension QA
- Established user base and brand trust (120k+ users)
- Built-in affiliate program and support/priority support that comes with paid product
- Any proprietary heuristics or historical data the vendor may use to tune scoring
An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches FriendFilter + GroupFilter, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
