| Auth for reads | API key required | Public — no auth needed |
| SDK dependencies | npm install (50+ packages) | Zero — single file |
| Cost | SaaS pricing, rate limits | Free forever (GitHub free tier) |
| Data ownership | Opaque API, vendor-controlled | Open JSON + git history = full audit |
| Vendor lock-in | Their servers, their rules | Fork = own the platform |
| Data format | Proprietary API responses | Plain JSON files in a git repo |
