Our suggestion based on what it does, not a feature-by-feature comparison.

Ways a business could use it

  • Save on payment processing fees by self-hosting
  • Gain flexibility in pricing models for AI products

Can you use it commercially?

Free to use. Anything you distribute that includes it must be open-sourced under the same licence. Running it as an online service also counts, so a hosted version must offer its source.

Not legal advice. Read the project's licence file before building a product on it.

Getting it running

Self-hosted with Docker

Follow the official instructions in the project README.
