medusa

Free: The commerce core is MIT: products, carts, orders, pricing, payments, inventory, fulfillment, the admin dashboard and the Next.js starter storefront, with no GMV fee and no order or product limits. Everything except the Enterprise Materials listed in ENTERPRISE-LICENSE.md.

Self-hosted: Needs Node.js 22.22 or later, PostgreSQL, Redis, and two deployments of the app (one in server mode for the API and admin, one in worker mode for scheduled jobs and subscribers), plus production Redis modules for caching, events, workflows and locking. The storefront is a separate app you host. RBAC and OIDC SSO code ships in the repo but is proprietary since 2026-08-11: using it requires a commercial agreement with MedusaJS, and code released under MIT before that date keeps its MIT rights.

Paid: Medusa Cloud, billed monthly: Develop from $29/mo (1 shared server, 600 compute hours capped, 1M edge requests, 1,000 emails a month hard limit, 1 Cloud seat). Launch from $99/mo (autoscaling, custom storefront domains, automatic backups with 7-day retention, Redis-backed KV, 2 shared servers, 1,000 compute hours then $0.16/hr, 5M edge requests, 1 seat).
