What you give up either way
- Polished, production-hardened UI/UX and cross-browser testing
- Scalable ingestion, long-term analytics storage, and compression/retention policies
- Built-in integrations with advertising/marketing platforms and single-click installs
- Commercial SLAs, support, and ongoing feature development
- Any proprietary 3D assets, UX polish, and product analytics optimizations
An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches MACRODATA, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
