But, I should also add to my prev comment that I meant any customization like logic or cupons would cost some $ as it’s on your site and not on the site where modx actually runs. Yeah, I see cupons can be enabled when subscribed to non-free plan...as well as other "can be tweaked" only default features
SaaS and "your own app on your own server" models have different pros and cons. So we cannot really say that for example any of them is definitely better than the other one. It depends on what you want to get.
SaaS`s pros: no issues or problems with upgrades, security, performance.
Cons: no access to the source code, thus limited customization abilities
"Your own app on your own server"`s pros: access to the source code, so you can modify anything you want
Cons: you should tweak, change and maintain everything (code, servers, upgrades) yourself.
Well, I personally, prefer SaaS. That`s why I use for ex. Gmail instead of creating my own mail server
So, it was just you know like letting modx users know that ecwid is not under GPL license like some ecommerce eXtras for ModX, right? Nevetherless Ruslan said "ecwid’s biz model is free" it is not like ModX’s one, correct?
Yep, Ecwid (i.e. the ervice itself) doesn’t have a GPL license, but it is free.
The module which integrates Ecwid and ModX is free and has GPLv3 license.
Ecwid has a freemium business model. The most features are free, some premium features are available for $17/mo.
