What you give up either way
- Reliable, maintained connectors to proprietary AI platforms (e.g., ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI) — especially if those platforms block scraping or change formats
- Polished UX, onboarding flows, and free audited reports
- Scale, commercial uptime SLAs, and support
- Continuous prompt discovery and proven insight-generation heuristics
An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches Lima, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
