What
Adds a Open Source vs Managed API section to the README: a comparison table plus short "choose X if…" guidance, clarifying the difference between this open-source library and the managed cloud API (the Python/JS SDKs).
Why
Users frequently ask what the difference is between the self-hosted open-source library and the paid hosted API. This makes it explicit (where it runs, LLM, browser/proxy handling, scaling, cost model, capabilities, license) right in the README.
