The same freedom — without running a full node.
BTCPay Server is the gold standard for self-hosted, non-custodial, 0% Bitcoin payments — and we admire it. The trade-off is operational: you run a full node and a stack of services, and altcoin / stablecoin support is limited. My Crypto Server gives you the same ownership with a one-hour serverless deploy and 12 chains plus stablecoins out of the box.
Both are self-hosted, non-custodial, and 0%. BTCPay is free and Bitcoin-first but heavy to run; My Crypto Server is a paid, multichain, serverless stack with stablecoins, an API/SDK, and support.
| You own it My Crypto Server | Open-source self-hosted gateway BTCPay Server | |
|---|---|---|
| Platform fees | 0% — only network gas, paid by the customer | 0% — also non-custodial and open-source |
| Who holds your money | Non-custodial — funds land straight in your wallet | Non-custodial — your node, your keys |
| Setup & hosting | Deploy on Vercel + Alchemy in under an hour | Self-host a full node + services; heavier ops |
| Chains & stablecoins | 12 networks, native coins + USDC / USDT / DAI | Bitcoin-first; altcoins/stablecoins via limited plugins |
| Support & updates | Email support, free install, paid v1 updates | Community support; you maintain it |
Competitor figures reflect standard published pricing and typical terms; exact rates vary by plan, region, and volume.
Deploy to Vercel and point it at Alchemy — no full node to sync, no server stack to babysit.
USDC, USDT, and DAI across EVM chains, Solana, and Tron settle 1:1 to USD — first-class, not bolted on with plugins.
A typed SDK, signed webhooks, a WooCommerce plugin, and real email support — plus every v1 update included.
Being fair
If you're Bitcoin-only, want zero software cost, and are comfortable running and maintaining your own node, BTCPay Server is an excellent, fully free choice.
$699 one-time with code MCSINTRO $999 — every v1 update included, 0% platform fees, free installation.
