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 14 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 | 14 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 rather than 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, with every v1 update included, 0% platform fees, and free installation.
