What you give up either way
- Proprietary hosted models and any cloud-side optimizations
- Polished commercial UX, priority feature roadmap and official support
- Cross-platform polished installers and code-signed binaries unless you pay for signing services
- Any proprietary performance or latency optimizations performed by the vendor
An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches Sayso, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
