What you give up either way
- Enterprise SLAs, unlimited concurrency guarantees and volume-discounted pricing
- ISO 27001 certification / SOC 2 Type II attestation and company-level GDPR compliance paperwork
- Proprietary trained models and claimed 98–99% benchmarked accuracy from proprietary datasets
- On-demand private-cloud / turnkey on‑prem deployments with dedicated support
An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches Vatis Tech, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
