What you give up either way
- Polished cross-platform mobile UX and native app store distribution
- Large pre-built scenario library and authored lesson content
- Any proprietary, closed-source conversation models or training data the vendor may use
- Polished analytics, user research, and marketing polish found in the commercial product
An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches Sociabl, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
