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. - **Value for money: C.** Free 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. - **Free plan and trial: B.** The software is free to download with no caps, but you pay for hosting and upkeep. No trial for the Cloud packs is listed. - **Features: C.** Marketplace, B2B, headless API and the core store tools. Marketplace, POS and mobile app are separate add-on products, so the core job has gaps. - **Ease of use: D.** No rating on record. Self-hosting a Laravel app takes technical skills, per the listing. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web only. A REST API and extensions exist, but no phone or desktop apps and no integration list. These are ToolGPA's own grades.

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. - You could make: Inventory: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you. - You could not: An API that other software can build on. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it. **Tags:** Online store, Open source, Self-hostable, Public API, Inventory ## Alternatives - [OpenCart](https://toolgpa.com/tools/opencart): Free open-source shopping cart you host yourself.
