What you give up either way

  • proprietary training data and tuned models for high accuracy
  • polished UI/UX and marketing/brand advantages
  • production-grade reliability, support and billing/checkout flows
  • built-in integrations and partner network

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