Gotchas - check before you buy

Self-hosted Tornado means you own patching; several CVEs landed 2023–2025.

Official advisory DSA-2026-001 covers arbitrary file write — keep Tornado current.

medium

Comparison sites list $49/mo, but self-hosted and enterprise terms aren't published — expect sales negotiation.

Guess: proprietary templates create lock-in; switching tools means rebuilding templates.
