Our suggestion based on what it does, not a feature-by-feature comparison.
Make money with it
A freelancer or consultant could set up and tailor a Macro workspace for small companies moving off several separate tools, charging for setup and training.
An idea, not financial advice. Check the licence before charging for anything built on it.
Ways a business could use it
- Replace separate chat, task, notes and CRM subscriptions with one workspace to cut software costs
- Handle customer emails, support tasks and contact history in one place so a small team responds faster
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
The README excerpt points mainly to the hosted sign-up at macro.com, and it doesn't show self-hosting steps, so check the docs for how to run it yourself.
Follow the official instructions in the project README.
Things to check
- Licensed under AGPL-3.0, which requires sharing source changes if you offer it as a network service
- Self-hosting instructions are not clear from the README provided
- Email support is Gmail only
- AI features may depend on paid third-party services
