Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Nov 13, 2026
Best for Laravel developers building B2B or marketplace stores
Bagisto is an open-source Laravel store with B2B, multi-vendor and headless options, free to download. Free means your own server, upkeep and developer skills, and its Cloud hosting starts at $25 a month with most pack prices unshown.
Who Bagisto is for
- Fits if you have a PHP or Laravel developer and want to own the code
- Makes sense if you want a multi-vendor or B2B shop on a stack you control
Who Bagisto is not for
- Skip it if nobody on your side can run a server, since free means self-hosted
- Tight if you need the marketplace, POS or mobile app, which are separate products
- Watch out: Cloud packs are Starter and Pro with only the $25 start price stated
- Pricey if you need migration help, which is a paid service on both Cloud packs
Why Bagisto gets a 2.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyFree only if you host it yourself, which needs a server, so it sits in the middle. Bagisto Cloud starts at $25 a month, between the category's $20 cheap end and its $29 middle.
- BFree plan and trialThe software is free to download with no caps, but you pay for hosting and upkeep. No trial for the Cloud packs is listed.
- CFeaturesMarketplace, B2B, headless API and the core store tools. Marketplace, POS and mobile app are separate add-on products, so the core job has gaps.
- DEase of useNo rating on record. Self-hosting a Laravel app takes technical skills, per the listing.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWeb only. A REST API and extensions exist, but no phone or desktop apps and no integration list.

Keep Bagisto, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Bagisto you would be making checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
Bagisto is open source, so there is a third way: take its code and run it yourself.
What you could make
- Inventory: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you.
- An API that other software can build on.
What this rests on. Bagisto’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
