I'll bring up a cool additional option in this space: https://gaggimate.eu/ Less fully featured, but more open (Gaggiuino became closed source post people profiting off the OSS). I'll also pitch another fun OSS pr

Two things: 1. I believe they require that you have an acquired specific landing page (e.g. crusoe.ai/acquired), which we saw directly as conversions through to our waitlist. The volume was lower than other channels, but the signal was
