Most Sharetribe-vs-custom comparisons are biased — written by Sharetribe, by agencies that hate it, or by founders who only tried one path. We've shipped both. Here's the 8-question framework that tells you which path actually fits your marketplace, with real numbers.

Here's the framework, the production gotchas, and the migration paths between them.
