What you give up either way
- Proprietary hosted access to many licensed/closed-source video models (eg. Seedance, Sora, Veo)
- Built-in director‑grade motion presets and 'soul'/identity-locked character workflows
- Single pooled credit abstraction across many commercial models
- Enterprise features: SLAs, SSO, dedicated infra, and support
An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches Prototipal, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
