Step 1: Decide — SaaS or Self-Hosted
First, choose your operating model. If you want speed and zero maintenance, pick FlxWoo (SaaS). If you want full control and manage your own servers, pick FlexWoo (self-hosted).
| FlxWoo (SaaS) | FlexWoo (Self-Hosted) | |
|---|---|---|
| Hosting | Fully hosted by us | You host yourself |
| Setup | Ready in minutes | You manage deployment & hosting |
| Maintenance | Automatic updates | You update manually |
| Performance | Global CDN & edge caching | Depends on your hosting |
| Cost Model | Monthly SaaS | Yearly license |
Step 2: Understand the Tiers
Free
Perfect for: Trying things out locally or personal, non-commercial use
- 1 site, basic features
- No white-label
- Limited capacity
Why pick it: Test the waters before investing.
Lite (FlxWoo only)
Perfect for: Small shops, side projects, low-traffic stores
Example: Local craft shop with ~<5,000 monthly views
Why pick it: Affordable way to go headless with essential performance boosts.
Standard
Perfect for: Growing stores with more customers and content
Example: Boutique fashion store up to ~50,000 monthly views
Why pick it: More capacity and features than Lite.
Pro
Perfect for: Agencies or store owners running multiple sites
- Up to 10 sites
- White-label included
- Priority support
Why pick it: Best value if you manage multiple stores — per-site cost drops dramatically.
Enterprise
Perfect for: Large organizations with special requirements
- Custom capacity
- SLAs
- Custom integrations & licensing
Why pick it: Everything tailored to your stack and processes.
Traffic examples are guidelines, not hard limits; pick the smallest tier that covers current needs and move up as you grow.
Step 3: Choosing the Right Plan
Match your plan to your stage and team capacity. If you're unsure, start smaller — upgrades are instant and without downtime.
Step 4: Don't Overpay
The Bottom Line
- Lite/Dev → entry point for small projects
- Standard → steady traffic growth
- Pro → agencies & multi-site managers
- Enterprise → fully custom
