What you give up either way
- Proprietary model training and any proprietary model quality claimed by the vendor
- Large curated template library and daily template updates
- Polished UX, performance optimizations, and priority support
- Scale and reliability of a hosted commercial service (SLAs, multi-region hosting)
An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches Pixelshot, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
