What you give up either way

Voice cloning feature (requires trained/specialized TTS models and licensing)
Biblically-trained model nuance (specialized training data and curation)
Polished integrations (OBS, ProPresenter iframe/webhook prebuilt connectors)
24/7 phone support and SLA-backed reliability
Scale-infra for many simultaneous streams and unlimited listeners

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