Which Ollama frontend should you use?
Open WebUI, LibreChat, AnythingLLM: each solves a different problem. Compare them side-by-side. Then deploy in minutes on Opsily.
Ollama Frontend Comparison
Open WebUI wins on speed. LibreChat wins on provider flexibility. Both beat ChatGPT on cost.
Choose Open WebUI if you want pure speed
Fastest to deploy. Docker + Ollama in under 5 minutes. No setup scripts. No complex configuration. Chat with local LLMs immediately. Perfect for teams who hate vendor lock-in and want to escape ChatGPT API bills.
Choose LibreChat if you need flexibility
Supports OpenAI, Claude, HuggingFace, and Ollama in one interface. Switch providers per conversation. Heavier setup, but worth it if your team uses multiple LLM vendors.
Choose AnythingLLM if you need document RAG
Built-in vector database. Upload documents, retrieve answers grounded in your data. Multi-workspace support. Slower deployment than Open WebUI, but your team gets a knowledge base.
The math: Why self-hosted beats ChatGPT
ChatGPT API: $0.003 per 1K input tokens. One 10K-token conversation = $0.03. Run 100 conversations daily = $90/month. Run this for a team of 5 = $450/month.
Ollama + Open WebUI on Opsily: EUR 20/month. Unlimited conversations. No per-token meter. Same cost for 1 person or 10.
Break-even: 2-3 months of moderate use. After that, you own your LLM infrastructure for a fraction of what you were spending on API calls.
