| Hosting | Free to self-host; cloud hosted. | A desktop app on a Mac you own (Apple silicon, macOS 26 or later), running on the model you bring: an AI subscription such as a Claude seat, a provider API key, or a local engine. No server of ours. Windows, iPhone, iPad and Android come later. |

The integration catalog is enormous and the visual editor is quick for one automation. Self-hosting is genuinely free. For gluing services together with a little AI in the middle it is hard to beat.
The engine under a workflow, not the map of a company. SoloINC's stages have gates, memos and owners, and every decision reaches one Desk.
One automation is the whole job, you need a particular integration today, and there is no company around it to run.
