Pick XMRgate if…
Privacy is a product requirement. You want hosted infrastructure with no analytics, clear platform fees, merchant balances and payout controls.
Pick BTCPay if…
You want to self-host the entire stack and run your own nodes. Full control, more operational overhead.
Pick a mainstream gateway if…
You need fiat off-ramping, custody, KYC tooling, or instant chargeback flows — and don't mind the analytics footprint.
