| Purpose | Lodestone is a free, open source server hosting tool for Minecraft and other multiplayer games. | Multicraft is software for hosting and managing your own gameservers, and the company says it does not host gameservers. |
| Security | Lodestone Core is written in safe Rust and forbids unsafe code, but the project says it has had no formal security audit. | Security guidance recommends restricting API, superuser, and daemon access, running daemons in multiuser mode, separating panel and daemon databases, and keeping installations updated. |
| Support | The project directs users to its wiki and Discord for troubleshooting and setup help. | Technical assistance is available only to paid license customers, and Multicraft does not provide support for free installations. |
