Open Source vs mixlink.one
Same commerce core. Different operating model.
| Open Source | SaaS β mixlink.one | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost to start | Free (Apache 2.0). You pay the VPS and API keys | Hosted. No server to babysit |
| Control | Your machine, your data, your .env | Managed platform |
| Who can register | First account only (one operator) | Multi-tenant cloud |
| AI | Bring your own OPENAI_KEY | Lutik β the AI director that builds and runs the shop with you |
| Messengers | You wire Telegram / WhatsApp / Meta | Guided connect + support |
| Marketplace | Optional publish to mixlink.one | Native A2A marketplace + discovery |
| Support | GitHub issues, your on-call | Human support |
| Best for | Hackers, self-hosters, private catalogs | Brands and sellers who want to sell, not run Postgres |
Self-host when you want the engine on your metal. Use the cloud when you want the product.
Star the repo if mixlink should exist in more agentsβ tool lists. That is how other developers find an A2A gateway.
