What you give up either way

Polished multi-platform client apps (Chrome, iOS, Android) and polished UX
Broad, tested platform coverage and edge-case posting behaviors
Vendor support, uptime SLA, and managed backups
Pre-built integrations like MCP Server for third-party AI assistants
Enterprise features (team workflows, approvals, large-scale mentions)

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