Where we honestly lose
Julius has a year-1 head start on niche recipes and chart polish.
Common objections
- Julius has more recipes — true for niche ones; we ship the EU + governance + price-band combination they cannot match cheaply.
- DPA is available on Julius — only on request and higher tiers; ours is downloadable on day one.
- DSGVO with SCCs is fine — formally yes, but DACH-SMB procurement still gets blocked at security review.
