Medusa is best for small businesses that have a developer on staff and want full control over their online store without paying platform fees or revenue cuts. The biggest win is that it's completely free and you own everything — no surprise charges as you grow. The catch is that it's not plug-and-play; you'll need technical help to set it up and maintain it, which can cost more than just paying for Shopify.
