What do I lose by leaving Mistral OCR 4.1?
The hosting. Mistral OCR 4.1's maker runs the servers for you; with an open source tool the updates, backups, security fixes and support are yours, unless you take the maker's hosted plan. Features differ too, so check what each one imports and exports before you move your data.
