My Crypto Server vs Hosted crypto gateways

All the convenience. None of the custody.

Coinbase Commerce, BitPay, NOWPayments, CoinGate and the rest make crypto checkout easy — by sitting between you and your funds, taking a cut, and limiting you to their stack. My Crypto Server gives you that convenience as software you own.

The verdict

Hosted gateways are the fastest possible start. My Crypto Server is the version you own — 0% fees, your keys, your infrastructure.
