What you give up either way
- Enterprise SSO, SAML, SCIM provisioning and audit logs

- Unlimited integrations and prebuilt connectors catalog
- Uptime SLA, priority support, and enterprise analytics
An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches Slab, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
