Self-Hosted AI & Private Infrastructure
Own your tools, own your data—private AI deployment
Own Your AI. Control Your Data. Escape Vendor Lock-In.
The SaaS Trap
You started small:
- Zapier for automation ($20/month)
- Notion for notes ($10/month)
- Airtable for databases ($20/month)
- Various AI tools ($50+/month)
Now you're paying $100-500/month with:
- ❌ Limited features at your tier
- ❌ Data scattered across platforms
- ❌ Privacy concerns about who sees your data
- ❌ Fear of pricing changes
- ❌ No control over the roadmap
And the costs only go up.
The Self-Hosted Alternative
Imagine instead:
- ✅ One-time setup cost
- ✅ Predictable monthly hosting ($20-50/month)
- ✅ Complete data ownership
- ✅ Unlimited usage (no per-seat fees)
- ✅ Customizable to your exact needs
- ✅ No vendor can change the rules
This is what self-hosted infrastructure delivers.

Real Scenarios Where This Matters
📊 Growing Teams Hitting SaaS Limits
"We have 25 employees. Zapier wants $600/month for our usage. Self-hosted n8n costs us $40/month in hosting with unlimited workflows."
Savings: $6,720/year
🏥 Compliance-Heavy Industries
"We're in healthcare. Patient data can't touch third-party AI APIs. We needed a private ChatGPT alternative that never sends data externally."
Solution: Self-hosted LLM with PHI compliance
🚀 Startups Building AI Products
"We're building an AI feature into our product. Using OpenAI API would cost $thousands at scale. Self-hosted models give us fixed costs."

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need technical knowledge?
For Tier 2 (DIY), yes—basic DevOps knowledge helps. For Tier 3 (Done-For-You), no—we handle everything.
What if something breaks?
That's what monthly management is for. We monitor, maintain, and fix issues proactively.
Is this actually cheaper long-term?
Almost always yes for teams over 5-10 people, high usage scenarios, multiple SaaS tools being replaced, and 2+ year timeframes.
What about security?
Self-hosted can be MORE secure than SaaS because you control access, encryption, and data location.
Can I scale later?
Yes. Self-hosted infrastructure scales with you. We design for growth from day one.
