Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Mattermost

No prices are published for any of the three paid tiers (Professional, Enterprise, Enterprise Advanced); all require contacting sales
Professional is capped at a maximum of 250 users, forcing a move to Enterprise for larger teams
Licenses are sold only as prepaid annual subscriptions, and organizations that exceed their licensed seat count must purchase additional seats on a prorated quarterly basis

Stable Diffusion

Generated images have lower resolution and quality at non-standard dimensions
Struggles with complex multi-object prompts and text generation
Poor rendering of human hands, limbs, and faces due to training data limitations
Trained primarily on English-language descriptions, reinforcing Western cultural bias
Requires significant GPU computational resources for local deployment

Yes, if your organization has less than $1M annual revenue. Organizations exceeding $1M annually must obtain an Enterprise License from Stability AI.

Source

Stable Diffusion: What are Stable Diffusion's image resolution limitations?

The base model was trained on 512x512 pixel images, and image quality degrades noticeably when deviating from this resolution. Newer models like SDXL support higher resolutions.

Source

Stable Diffusion: Can I run Stable Diffusion locally on my computer?

Yes. Stable Diffusion is open-source and can run locally on compatible hardware, though it requires a GPU for reasonable performance.
