## The Hook

Paymenter is the hosting webshop + provisioning panel when Kill Bill or Lago is the wrong shape.

## What's Good

MIT. Self-host free forever. Automates subscriptions, invoices, and service deployment for hosting businesses. WHMCS importer. Cloud PaaS starts at $5/mo — paid, not free.

## The Catch

Vs Kill Bill/Lago/Polar: hosting webshop + provisioning (Pterodactyl/cPanel, WHMCS importer) — not generic subscription metering or Polar MoR. Cloud is $5/mo paid. Self-host is the $0 path.

## Verdict

MIT hosting billing. Self-host free; cloud PaaS is $5/mo paid.
