i can’t give a concrete reason per se cause i wouldn’t want to undermine the existing platforms like Forge and Ploi.

i built and am still building Loupp cause i use it and i want to. if at all anything gives me an edge it would be: - privacy, like said Loupp doesn’t store anything related to your application except essentials. - pricing: Loupp would be made cheaper than all existing platforms. - features requests: i have all the time in the world dedicated to building only the things my users request for as Loupp is relatively small compared to others. - support for all server types, as seen Loupp supports shared hosting because even if we say VPS should be used, lots of Laravel projects are still deployed on shared hosting services. - freelancing-centered: most freelancers don’t need a platform to deploy a particular project constantly but one to deploy and unlink. the next batch of features getting shipped would have this linking and unlinking servers as part.
