What you give up either way
- Polished multi-platform native apps and UI/UX refinements
- Proprietary, productized AI tuning and any undisclosed backend optimizations
- Built-in integrations (Canva, Drive) and commercial support/roadmap guarantees
- Any enterprise features or unpublished data/privacy guarantees the vendor advertises
An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches LivingWriter, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
