Platform Model: Monthly subscription fees range from several hundred to several thousand yuan. Data is stored on third-party platforms, with limited and non-customizable functions, and users belong to the platform rather than your business. Private Deployment: One-time investment of 499-1500 yuan. Data is fully stored on your own server, giving you complete autonomy and control, with full customization freedom. Simple Analogy: Platform-based Online Store vs. Self-built Independent Website — Opt for the platform for short-term cost savings, and choose self-built solutions for long-term value. The virtual world is a digital asset of your enterprise, and it should be fully owned by you, just like your official website. Core Differences: Platform tenants lack data sovereignty — customer data, transaction records, and user behaviors are all entrusted to third parties. Platform rules may change at any time, potentially rendering your investment worthless overnight. With private deployment, you gain complete data sovereignty, brand autonomy, and technical flexibility. For enterprises committed to building a virtual world, this is not a technical decision, but a fundamental business bottom line.
