| License | The repository identifies the project license as Mozilla Public License 2.0. | The site describes OpenReco as MIT licensed and open source. |
| Reconstruction | The project provides an end-to-end framework for 3D reconstruction from images using libraries, binaries, and pipelines. | The product uses COLMAP CUDA for GPU multi-view stereo and says it has an automatic CPU fallback. |
| Self-hosting | OpenMVG is built locally from source and can be installed into a chosen prefix for use as a third-party CMake dependency. | The software is local-first and can produce a self-contained output folder that can be hosted statically without a server. |
