Vexor Cloud vs Standalone

---

Vexor offers two powerful versions to suit different business needs:

Vexor Cloud is our fully-managed, hosted solution that provides a comprehensive suite of features designed to streamline your payment operations. It includes:

• Built-in analytics dashboard and detailed metrics
• Secure credential management system
• Automated email services and invoice generation
• Priority support options
• Pricing plans starting from free with 250 operations
• Seamless scalability for growing businesses

Vexor Standalone is perfect for developers and organizations who want complete control over their infrastructure. With a one-time payment, you get:

• Lifetime access and updates
• Unlimited operations with no monthly fees
• Complete data sovereignty and customization freedom
• You can build your own infrastructure
• Ability to implement custom tracking and automation
• Full control over security and deployment

Choose Cloud for a hassle-free experience with immediate access to our full feature set, or Standalone for maximum flexibility and independence.

Below, you can read a more specific comparison of the two versions.

Credentials

👉🏻 Cloud Version: Credentials are encrypted and securely hashed within projects. You can:

• Manage multiple platform credentials (Mercado Pago, Stripe, PayPal, etc.) and organize them in different projects inside your dashboard
• Update credentials through the dashboard without code changes
• Only need to provide Vexor API keys and project ID in your code

👉🏻 Standalone Version: Credentials are defined directly in your code when instantiating the SDK. While this provides flexibility, it requires careful security considerations.

• You can define multiple platform credentials in your code without the need to manage them through the dashboard.
• You need to ensure that your credentials are not exposed in your codebase.
• You need to manage your credentials manually and change them in your code when needed.
