Try demoSelf-hosted software runs on a server you control, your own or one you rent, instead of on the vendor’s cloud, so you own the installation and the data.
With SaaS, the vendor runs the software and you rent access. With self-hosted software, you install it on your server, usually a VPS or dedicated machine, and run it yourself.
The benefits are control and cost: your data stays on your infrastructure, you choose providers, and there is no per-seat fee or revenue share. The trade-off is that you handle hosting, updates and backups.
For AI platforms, self-hosting also means you hold the provider API keys and pay providers directly, so your margin is not shared with a middleman.
Aikeedo is self-hosted: you install it on your own server and domain, keep your users’ data, and connect your own AI provider and payment accounts.
