Self-hosted or SaaS: choose by ownership, not a slogan
EasyChat offers control and a one-time license but requires hosting, backups and updates. SaaS removes operations faster but stores data and prices service under its own rules.
Free start: 300 delivered operator push targets. The web chat keeps working after the limit; FCM, WebPush and SMS become available with a license.
| Criterion | EasyChat self-hosted | SaaS |
|---|---|---|
| Conversation storage | Your server | Provider infrastructure |
| Product payment | One-time EasyChat license | Usually subscription |
| Backups and updates | Owner responsibility | Provider responsibility |
| Initial setup | Installation required | Often faster |
| Integration flexibility | Local customization is possible | Depends on API and plan |
This compares deployment models, not a specific competitor. Verify actual SaaS prices and terms with the selected provider.
