What you give up either way
- Pre-built integrations catalog (5000+ / 6000+ tools) and the effort to reproduce it
- Enterprise compliance guarantees and certifications (SOC2, GDPR) and hosted-EU controls
- Vendor partnership for private/secure generative AI (Anthropic integration) and related privacy handling
- Product polish, multi-language support out of the box, and the hosted UI/analytics experience
An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches tl;dv, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
