What you give up either way

  • Built-in proprietary LinkedIn integrations or enterprise connectors
  • Scale, reliability, and polished UX of a paid product
  • Any proprietary training data or vendor-tuned models
  • Legal/terms-of-service risk handling and compliance assurances

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