Own it, don't rent it.
Hosted platforms are a great place to start and a hard place to own. Bizdia is the self-hosted, own-your-database alternative: your store, your domain, your data — and 0% of your sales taken by us.
// the difference
Hosted SaaS vs Bizdia, honestly.
| Dimension | Hosted SaaS | Bizdia |
|---|---|---|
| Your data | Lives in the platform's database — you rent access | Your Postgres — exportable, or fully self-hosted |
| Transaction fees | Fees unless you use their in-house processor | 0% — bring your own processor, pay only their rate |
| Lock-in | Proprietary, closed platform | Open-source core — self-host anytime, no re-platform |
| Storefront | Themes locked inside their ecosystem | Branded on your own domain, code-optional |
| Huge / fitment catalogs | Fights the model; needs apps and workarounds | Fitment catalog engine — our signature edge (in development) |
Not a knock on hosted platforms — they're excellent for getting started. Bizdia is for when you want to own the box.
- You want to own your database, not rent a slice of someone else's
- You're tired of transaction fees and per-app surcharges
- You need multiple brands or stores from one owned core
- You have a huge / fitment-scale catalog that a generic store fights
// make the switch
Your store shouldn't be someone else's asset.
