What you give up either way

  • Polished, branded UX and product polish from vendor
  • Hosted scaling, uptime SLAs and DDoS protection from vendor
  • Any proprietary moderation/analytics features the vendor may offer
  • Integrated billing, teams, or single-sign-on if provided by vendor

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