Apirone vs BTCPay Server

Apirone provides businesses with fully on-chain cryptocurrency payment processing through web tools and an API. Each account uses dedicated blockchain addresses to receive and store funds, allowing transactions to be tracked individually. The API supports multi-currency accounts, invoices, exchange rates, fee estimates, and HTTPS payment callbacks. Businesses can choose manual withdrawals, batch payouts, scheduled transfers, threshold withdrawals, or Instant Forwarding; a single batch payout can send to up to 100 recipients. Checkout options include a payment form, button, mini cart, donation widget, and plugins for WooCommerce, PrestaShop, and OpenCart. The integrations page lists Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, TRON, and stablecoins on TRC20, ERC20, and BEP20 networks. Apirone says payments settle directly on-chain and its infrastructure does not use third-party custodians. It does not work with fiat money, so businesses choose their own exchange-rate source and conversion approach. The percentage fee option charges 1% on outgoing transactions, plus network fees; incoming payments are credited in full.

BTCPay Server is self-hosted, open-source software for processing cryptocurrency payments. It describes its service as free, with no subscriptions or transaction fees; payments go directly to merchant-controlled wallets rather than being held by a payment intermediary. Merchants can create invoices, receive payment notifications and export invoices for bookkeeping. Built-in tools include point of sale, tipping buttons, payment links and crowdfunding campaigns, alongside wallet management with hardware wallet support. The Greenfield REST API can connect commerce applications and automate BTCPay instances. Listed checkout options include hosted invoice checkout, payment requests, HTML buttons, e-commerce plugins, point of sale and custom API integrations. Integrations include platforms such as WooCommerce, Shopify, Drupal, Magento and PrestaShop. For on-chain transactions using an existing wallet, public wallet information is used rather than the master private key. Third-party hosted accounts may lack Lightning by default, wallet rescanning and server settings access. It supports web, Linux, self-hosting and API use.
