Deployment	Self-hosted	Self-hosted	Self-hosted	Cloud, Self-hosted
Open source	Yes (MIT)	Yes (Apache-2.0)	Yes (Apache-2.0)	Yes (Apache-2.0)
Best for	ML engineers forecasting large panels of related series (many products, stores or sensors) who want deep-learning models with covariates.	Teams that want to benchmark many forecasting model types against the same dataset through one consistent interface.	Researchers and ML engineers who want direct control over neural forecasting model architecture rather than an automated pipeline.	Teams that want a strong automated forecasting baseline without manually selecting or tuning models.
