What you give up either way
- Hosted MCP servers and managed uptime/SLA
- Managed connector onboarding and hosted connector URLs (e.g. one-click Claude connector)
- Priority support and managed account/ads-strategist services
- Managed scaling, backups, and security patching provided by the vendor
An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches NotFair, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
