Why do people look for a Phala alternative?

The 'decentralized' label needs heavy qualification per independent reviewers. On-chain revenue is near-zero and marketed Cloud ARR is self-reported off-chain, not on-chain verifiable. Inherent TEE side-channel vulnerabilities and reliance on trusting the hardware vendor. To be fair to Phala: verifiable execution with runtime attestation proofs; keeps secrets, prompts, and data private in hardware-backed tees. If that's what matters most to you, it may still be the right call.
