What you give up either way

Marea Alcalina’s hosted reliability, uptime SLAs and operational support
Built-in marketing/AI Studio credits and proprietary 'Marea IA' assistant
Trust signals (Trustpilot reviews, verification badges) and branded marketplace presence
Polished multi-catalog/product limits, billing controls, and prebuilt templates
Ongoing product improvements and customer support

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