How does it compare to https://hapi.run/ ?

I have been pretty satisfied with it, and it’s free with unlimited sessions, so I need a good reason to switch

I haven't tried out https://hapi.run/, but I've tried similar things and in my experience Omnara is much more reliable than the other solutions, as well as I enjoy the UX of Omnara much more. Give it a try, it's one command to set up and the free tier gives you everything that the paid tier does, so you can decide if you like it before paying!

when you say reliable what do you mean? hapi never once failed for me, it’s self hosted + tailscale so pretty robust

reliability is not big selling point given the high cost on unlimited sessions which I use quite a bunch

I mean messages drop or stall, or syncing doesn't work, or I can't get through setup at all. But I'm sure all these solutions have improved greatly since I've tried them, I tried these things much earlier on. If hapi works perfectly for you, then maybe Omnara wouldn't be much of a value add. Are there any pain points you face with hapi?

Yeah none of these issues happen to me, so if Omnara has no other value add then I don't see a reason to pay for it.

I was curious if it had something Hapi didn't have, but sounds like it doesn't.

Thanks for your help!
