What you give up either way
- Proprietary model optimizations and 'full model access' tuning provided by vendor
- Polished multi-site management, UX polish, and brand-free iframe option
- Built-in paid analytics and recurring-question insights at vendor scale
- SLA, commercial support, and managed scaling for high-volume traffic
An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches Whisperchat, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
