Between August 20 and 22, Vendo (Apache-2.0, YC S26) shipped an embedded customization layer so SaaS customers build their own features, Proliferate (AGPL-3.0) shipped a self-hostable multi-agent IDE, Munder Difflin (MIT) shipped a multi-agent clone harness, Open Analytics (AGPL) shipped a Google Analytics replacement, and a solo builder documented a Forgejo plus Coolify stack replacing GitHub and Heroku. The common architecture is bring-your-own-model plus bring-your-own-host, with the vendor's paid tier reduced to convenience hosting. None of these sell inference, so none of them carry the cost floor that forces the incumbent's subscription price.
