What you give up vs Make
- Skill catalog is far smaller than Alexa's or Google Assistant's third-party ecosystem
- No official Docker image; setup involves Node.js, Python, and optional model downloads
- Voice accuracy depends on local NLU models that require additional setup and tuning
- Not designed for multi-user household scenarios — user accounts and permissions are limited
What you gain
- • Full data ownership — self-host Leon on your own infrastructure.
- • No per-seat SaaS bill (Make: operation-based pricing tiers).
- • Open-source code you can audit and extend (MIT).
