What "self-hosted" actually changes
- ›Your keys — bring your own OpenAI key (~$15/mo) or skip and get 2 free checks/day.
- ›Your data — client data, prompts and reports stay on your server.
- ›Your site — Ghost + FAQ + AXP pages deploy to your domain, not theirs.
- ›Cancel anytime — no lock-in, 7-day money-back.
Bottom line
SaaS tools measure AI visibility. This machine measures and fixes it — it generates pages, deploys them, and self-heals when citations drop. Live data on the proof page.
