What you give up either way
- Proprietary, curated 100+ actor catalog and any proprietary actor-model fidelity
- Managed credits, billing, and the out-of-the-box UX/administration Novoads provides
- Founder-led support channels and commercial SLAs
- Prepaid credit pricing and the company’s per-model credit accounting
An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches novoads, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
